Now, McDavid and Draisaitl, as good as they are, can't do the entire work alone. I think RNH/KY are great 3rd-4th offensive options, I really do but besides that, what do they have? 5,75 mil PP specialist Neal? 4th liner Haas, Sheahan(if they bring him back), Nygard and Khaira? Middle six Kassian? Unproven Benson? 3rd liner Ennis (who I would 100% bring back btw, I'm 100% sure he's taking a hometown discount to stay in EDM? Dark horses Mcloed/Marody? I think you're starting to get it. They REALLY need more offensive depth! They especially need a 3C. Khaira, Haas, Ennis (who really shouldn't play C) can't do it. They player i'd target is Carl Soderberg. He's scored 15 goals 3 years in a row now, including a 23 goal, 49 pts season in 18-19. Basically, IMO, he's a money in the bank 15-17 goals, 35 pts guy season in season out.
Now, with CS as 3C and RS as 4C, I'd 100% trust their C depth unlike now.
Koskinen (badly) needs help. He can't play 50+ games. Greiss would be an amazing fit in EDM IMO. Or, move Koskinen, sign Lehner and resign Smith to a cheap 1 mil or less one year deal. Here I'll get Greiss as a 1A/1B to help Koskinen.
Interesting strawman you got there. Draisaitl puts up empty points largely thanks to McDavid feeding him (#1 toi partner). Drai is also one of the worst forwards in the league defensively.
Mats on the other hand can put the team on his back, drive play, play defensively and has stronger impacts in nearly all aspects.
Although I must say I find it cute how people like you just look at points and think Drai is better, which is hilarious as the stats you posted aren't even right (Mats has a GWG for starters).
But hey, keep being a salty Leafs hater. I'm cool with Mats being underrated
Cool, add that GWG. Is it better than Draisaitl now? And talking about playoffs, 29 is better.
I think Matthews, but it is subjective and based a lot on pre conceived notions about players. Mats being an elite goal scorer (more so than Drai) hurts his standing in that regard.
I am literally just repeating myself at this point. It would be nice if mister 'I like to have decent conversations and purposeful disagreements' would actually read what is being said but what do I know.
Ye ok, I can see what your saying. And I respect that, Draisaitl is probably the better passer and skates to the better areas. But I agree with you in you saying Matthews is the better scorer. He has one of the best shots in the league. The best wrist shot I'd say.
