    Here's the best question...
    Would McD get as many points as Leon (5v5) if Leon got the top pair D and Nuge and Hyman?
    One thing everyone forgets to factor in when comparing generational talents is the talent of the linemates and d pair... Malkin is also a generational talent in his own right... he, like Leon and 80's Messier, always get lower caliber supporting talent and if a replacement is needed on the top line... who's likely going to lose their winger... the second line.. that's who!

    Dri is so underrated, and it's still of a shocker that there's some people that still say Dri is good only because of McDavid, Draisaitl made his own superstar player, best German hockey player ever... I will say not everyone can play with and on McDavid level but Draisaitl can when he wants to 😊

      @@colbystruble2893 you’re proving my point bro lol. He’s overrated because people say he’s second and he’s not. MacKinnon and Kucherov are better. Below those two there are also arguments for Makar, Matthews, Barkov, and I think Kaprizov is going to end in this conversation along with Drai. Drai is below top 3 and he’s overrated because people say he’s 2nd. Still amazing to be in top 5-15 but 97, 29, and 86 are all definitely better than Drai.

    With that goal in the first minute against the Flames he showed that he is one of, if not _the_ best, backhand in the league. What I noticed in the first few games was the opponent doing good work in anticipating and blocking many of his usually lethal backhand passes. But somehow he found a switch or cheat code to step it up a notch and bring his passing to an even higher level. I'm gonna be bold and proclaim he is amongst the top 10 passers of all time and top 3 backhand overall.

I'd probably still put Draisaitl top 5, but it's not a slam dunk for me. If you are including dmen and goalies too, then you've got Makar, Hughes, Shesterkin, etc, etc. No knock against Draisaitl, he's incredible, but there is a lot of insane talent in the league right now, and they don't all play forward.

      Makar and Mackinnon are amazing scorers, but not elite defenders, which should be factored in imo. Makar has 21 pts thru 12 games and is somehow a -8. Mackinnon a -6. Yeah they've had rough tending and a few of those are EN goals, though you can't get around the fact they've allowed a lot of goals while on the ice. IMO a player like Barkov or Crosby should get more love as an top elite player, since they are great 2-way players

    Overrated? Geez people are stupid.
    He's more important to this team than McDavid. He can score when others can't. McDavid can be shut down oh so easily. All you have to do is let him skate around in circles in your end and cover everyone else. He constantly loses the puck because because he is moving so fast and trying to stickhandle. Draisaitl gets the puck and while he doesn't skate fast it is near impossible to get it off him. And then a quick move and it's in the net.
    If anyone is overrated IMO, it's McDavid. Not saying he isn't a great player, he is. But if it was a must win game and I had to choose one player, it would be Draisaitl and not McJesus.

    Drai has been under rated forever and I'm not an oilers fan. I've heard for years people trying to put McKinnon in talks with Crosby, ovechkin, McDavid, Matthews but Drai does everything Mac does but consecutive year after year. It's not McDavid and Drai behind the wheel. They played with the likes of kassian Neil and Lucic in the top 6 and expected to use their talent to make up for having guys who couldn't just keep up but they weren't complimentary unless an offensive faceoff and rushed the net. When oilers signed Kane I thought f he isn't just going to grind harder than ever McD or drai got a guy with talent. Then Hyman signed he flourished. But McDavid and especially drai have always flourished even without these workers. "Oilers trade for an old ekholm he will be an ok help" man he was the best Dman along with ceci. It's crazy the potential Edmonton has I'd really like to see Kane back and them just upgrade nurse for anyone. Once again not an oilers fan but my god it's hard not to cheer for a team that had failed to add so many needed pieces for so many years to all of a sudden adding 4-5 work horses that worked so well and are still on the team. I don't care about edmontons drought. They will make the playoffs and if they can add the pieces they need they will be even more dangerous than last year.

  • @soccermtb13

    Personally I don't put McDavid ahead of Mackinnon, Draisaitl, Kucherov or Barkov. He's very flashy and explosive but not the uncontested best player in, here's the key part, "MY OPINION". I would put Auston Matthews at 6th on my top 10, but the top 5 are a tie if not change on a week to week basis. They each dominate the game in different ways, and personally I don't know who I'd rather have on my team more. Barky with that shut down 2-way dominance is probably the safest guy to build a team around, but Nathan brings that quiet unbridled intensity you want on a cup contender, Draisaitl is an elite goal scorer/playmaker with a big frame and ridiculous reach, and also seems to have that clutch gene, Kucherov is easily the best playmaker in the league and quite the russian sniper to boot, and McDavid has that explosive acceleration and beautiful stick handling that makes for some very pretty highlights.

    McDavid isnt the best player in the world. Also, Draisaitl didnt have a great cup final because Barkov (the actual best player in the world) shut him down all series.

      You guys were saying Drai would sign with Utah or the friggin’ Sharks this past summer. How many of you bozos were right about that?

    McMuffin will leave Edmonton because he knows he'll never win a Cup with that boat anchor contract Drai took.

    Leon is so underrated definitely a top 20 player. i'd say he'd be more of a captain than McDavid would be he showed that by also doing McDavids job after game 7. Leon at least would have the class to go out there for an award

      no team leader with any class is leaving his team to accept a solo award, I can't believe this is still being brought up

      Thats such a shit take about McDavid not accepting the award last year after game 7
      He just lost a cup final game 7 so he’s rightfully upset by it, he was injured, and wanted to be there with his team as they swallowed the tough pill.
      You try going out there, accepting an award in the middle of an arena like that, given those circumstances, on top of everyone is happy their team won and you specifically lost.
      F**k off troll

      ​@mcdabonsl_bl4ubery_pie Canucks fans wouldn't understand that. You have to take it a bit easy on them. I was going to make some snarky remark about calling Draisaitl a top 20 when he's easily at least top 5. But then I remembered this is a Canucks fan. These poor fans aren't used to seeing this level of skill so aren't really equipped to assess it
