Saying a player isnt as good as they are because they play with another good player has to be one of the most ignorant sports takes of all time.
No shit Mahomes would not have won if the team around him wanst good. No shit Jordan would not have won if the team around him was not good. No shit Brady won because the teams around him were good.
You cannot discount how much space and opportunity for Draisaitl is created by McDavid's presence. Draisaitl is a beast, but not the same on any other team.

Gregor is spot on here.
Draisaitl is not a product of McDavid and obviously vice versa.
Gentlemen
Their power play conversion will go down because the league will finally start calling more penalties against the Oilers opposition.
That is my hope.
They will get more power play points. Just not as high a percentage.
draisaitl is one of the top 3 greatest backhand passers of all time
Connor and Leon have both said that the powerplay goes through…. Nuge

drai had 61 primary assists and only 16 secondary last year
The year McDavid was out for awhile, Drai, Nuge and Yamo led this team to the playoffs. If Im not mistaken it was 19-20 season.
