He is though, you have provided no stats or proof to indicate otherwise, he's so much better than Draisaitl and you're being very salty about it but it's ok... Get the anger out now

Mark Stone is an elite winger…but just worry about a slow drawdown if health works against him.

How many RD3 wins do the Oilers have? And again, Matthews is much better defensively compared to Drai and it shows during the playoffs

Mcdavid. He turned Nuge and Hyman into point per game players. Draisaitl is great but he'd never score 50 without McDavid, I bet he doesn't score 40 without him and he certainly loses 30-40 points a season without McDavid. To say otherwise is disrespecting McDavid

What are u talking about matthews is a pylon during the playoffs and how Many Round 1 wins do the leafs have since matthews joined the leafs?

Terrible take Draisaitl won MVP Art Ross and Ted Lindsay with mcdavid on his team but ok

You are such a troll... When the 'pylon' Matthews was the best at shot creation in RD 2 these playoffs (led the league in shot attempts and shots in RD 2, better than both McDavid and Draisaitl)

And the fact that the Oilers and Leafs have gone equally far despite the Oiler having had more years of Draisaitl and McDavid say a lot as well

Put him on Edmonton instead of Draisaitl and Matthews scores 80 goals and 150 points and McDavid gets 200 points

180 and the Oilers win a cup

Well in your defense, you totally did throw our bait so you could lash out like this, we all know it and yet here we are.

Hahah yeah no. The fact you think that is silly. Sure Matthews is good but no way that happens.

Bc he likes attention

That is a bold statement. Well if we are doing that then, Matthews loses 15 goals without Marner

You are absolutely ridiculous if I truly believe that

You put the 2 best players in the world on the same team... Silly results will follow

No Matthews doesn't... Just based on shot creation alone and hime doing fine when he isn't playing on 1 wrist

Draisaitl is one of the best players the nhl has ever seen in the playoffs imagine he never scored a single goal in the playoffs would still have better numbers than matthews

And he gives up the exact same amount of goals... while not being as good of a shooter as Matthews

Matthews will be the fastest to 300 goals since Ovi...

Draisaitl is the first player in nhl history to record three or more points in five consecutive playoff games.

Draisaitl also holds the record for assists in a playoff series

How many records does matthews have again?

Also holds the record for most assists in a period in the playoffs.

Probably. Draisaitl is great no question but he's given way too much credit for how good McDavid is. If Draisaitl is the best player on your team, thats a good team but he's not scoring 100 points and Hyman and Nuge are 60 point players tops. It's crazy that McDavid doesn't get enough credit from Oiler fans for how great he is. So so so much better than anyone else.

Oh so Marner is overrated then. All of his assists are just because of Matthews?? This is some of the silliest **** I’ve heard before.

Matthews doesn't play with McDavid so it's irrelevant. Switch them and it would blow your mind. They couldn't be stopped by anyone. Mcdavid is damn near unstoppable with Draisaitl but Matthews shot and speed with McDavid 's explosiveness would be insane! Matthews scored 60 goals with Marner, how much better is McDavid as a linemates? Give credit where credit is due. Draisaitl is a star but no one else in hockey is in a better position to elevate his stats way beyond what he can do if he was the guy for a whole season. I would say and have said that about a lot of players who've succeeded next to Matthews and Marner and Nylander, Bunting was a good player but 4.5 million? Without linemates like Matthews and Marner, he's a 30 point agitator who sometimes loses his cool.

That's why I don't put as much stock in Draisaitl as Oiler fans do, it's because I absolutely see just how much McDavid makes it easier to rack up the points. Yeah he's a star for sure, but he plays nearly 40% of his 5v5 minutes still with McDavid and all his PP minutes with McDavid. Can anyone honestly say that isn't going to vastly inflate loads of players stats? There are quite a few guys I think could out perform Draisaitl, McKinnon and Matthews for sure would.

No, McDavid is underrated. Draisaitl gets all the credit for how much McDavid brings his way.

Lol draisaitl runs his own line and is the reason the oilers get most of there powerplays he’s a target on the ice cause he’s unstoppable even on one leg he’s unstoppable
