I couldn't agree more with the assessment of Leon Draisaitl as one of the most underrated players in the NHL! It's baffling how some fans still cling to the idea that he’s just riding the coattails of Connor McDavid. Sure, playing alongside a generational talent like McDavid can elevate a player's game, but Draisaitl has proven time and again that he is a force in his own right.
His point totals are staggering, and the fact that he consistently performs at an elite level, even when separated from McDavid, speaks volumes about his skill. The numbers don’t lie; he’s been a top scorer in the league and has shown he can dominate in the playoffs, even when injured.
It’s a shame that the narrative around him often gets overshadowed by McDavid's brilliance. Just like Evgeni Malkin has faced similar scrutiny alongside Sidney Crosby, Draisaitl deserves recognition for his own accomplishments. He’s not just a product of his environment; he’s a magician on the ice, and it’s time the hockey community gives him the respect he rightfully deserves! What do you think? Do you see Draisaitl breaking through that underrated label anytime soon?
