Which forwards are better than Draisaitl right now?

[McShogun99]

Wasn't meant to be a joke. After looking into this further, I can add McCann, Rust, Svechnikov, Boeser, JT Miller, Marcus Foligno, Niederreiter, Pacioretty, Hall, Zucker, Copp, Reilly Smith, William Nylander, Pettersson, Marner, Kase, Forsberg, Bjorkstrand, Giroux, O'Reilly, Cirelli, Radulov, Tatar, Dubois, Hertl, Craig Smith, Gallagher, Danault, Vrana

You forgot Yamamoto

Man, I am such a big Caggiula fan. That Manning trade was horrific.

What makes it even worse is that him and McDavid were roomies on the road.

if Draisaitl really does this and keeps Edmonton in the playoffs, even as an Avs fan would accept his being 2nd in the world. Until then MacK just does too much on his own to not be right behind McDavid.

Kucherov needs way more respect in this thread. On pace for third straight 100+ point season, had the ridiculous 128 points last seasons, and would be looking at potentially four straight 100 point seasons if not for being injured the one season. It’s like he got off to a slow start this season and people forgot how ridiculously good he is.

With certainty:
McDavid
Mackinnon
Ovechkin
Crosby

In the same group:
Pastrnak
Panarin
Marchand
Eichel
Kane
Kucherov

And maybe a few others.

/thread except remove Ovechkin lol. That guy has no business in the discussion of top players in NHL. Not even a top 30 player tbh.

Is everyone else watching eichel make this league his personal playground, his assist and third point of the night in overtime was so beautiful. He has points in 35 of his last 39 games, 73 points.....he’s doing this with no one beside him (points wise)

IMO and obviously I’m biased people need to start paying attention to this guy. He’s a machine and despite everyone zoning in on him he literally just goes past everyone.. it’s like watching lindros again (with a lot less physical force)

On what basis are these players better than Draisaitl? Most of them are second and third-liners!?!

Or maybe I'm missing a joke somewhere...
