![]() Away from McDavid et al this is mainly true because his line mates are not doing a lot to generate chances. Much of this is because when Leon was playing away from the other top Oilers he pretty much had to carry the whole load but despite that he still generates points largely on his own. In 3464 5 vs 5 minutes his GF/60 rate is 3.39 vs an xGF rate of 2.79. Leon's GF/60 rate is always much higher than his xGF/60. It literally just comes down to Edmontons PP. The difference in EV production is almost negligible, that's how small it is. So you got Drai coming to a team that draws significantly fewer PPs and away from the greatest player in the game, it's very reasonable to suggest his PP numbers would drop, and probably drop by a significant margin. Toronto didn't get a 5 on 3 all season, until like game 72 or something ridiculous like that. And secondly, the amount of PP's Edmonton gets vs Toronto is also a big difference. But the main point I am trying to make is, McDavid is the catalyst of that PP, not Drai. Now of course Draisaitl obviously contributes to Edmontons lethal PP, I'm not suggesting he doesn't. The difference in point production is quite clearly the PP. I don't think there's a chance in hell Draisaitl even scores 50 PP points in Toronto to be quite honest.Īlso to add, Draisaitl had 64 EVP in 80 games, Matthews had 57 EVP in 74 games. I think it's extremely reasonable to suggest Draisaitls PP numbers would decline and Matthews would increase. Do you think Drai scores 62 PP points in Toronto ? Do you think Matthews scores only 28 points in Edmonton ? Maybe it would get slightly worse for the Oilers, but let's talk just Drai/Matthews.
