McDavid = 1a, Draisaitl = 1b
McDavid has the speed, stick work and vision to get his points where Draisaitl has the agility, accuracy and passing skills.
The thing I find a bit off about Draisaitl is he seems to float a lot. If you take away his PP points, he'd be a minus player by a lot instead of a +6 right now.
He's got incredible cagey talent and a quick shot and lazer like passing, just I'm a fan of playing both ends of your ice.
Cups get won that way.
Draisaitl is clear number 2
McDavid and Drai are together like Messi and Xavi!
I'm so blown away. This is amazing 😍🥰
He’s definitely Top 5!!
I know the Leafs would love him there 😂
Draisaitl and McD are both amazing. I don't think it's accurate to say Draisaitl is riding Connor's coattails. Maybe in his shadow, but certainly not riding anyone's coattail. Draisaitl is his own player with a totally different style than Connor.
