@@jimbodangle178 both those duos have a much better supporting cast. Oilers don't have a Hedman, or even Mcdonagh level D. They don't have a McAvoy or Carlo level D either. Their goaltending is wet stinky dogshit and after Nugent Hopkins they have a bunch of 3rd to fifth liners. I will always wonder what these two could do with competent management. I feel bad for oilers fans.

@@Gergentine yes for sure, but i cant agree with them being the best duo, when their team cant even get past the play in. The most dangerous, skilled, offensive, frightening, yes, but to be the best duo, you gotta win also, in my opinion, and they simply havent done that. Incredible players, but i think theres duos out there that we could consider better based off team performance to. If only the oilers did something, or else get ready to see McDavid somewhere else

[@mart_en]

McDavid the wizard with the stick and Draisaitl, the slightly immobile but very precise sharpshooter. Perfect duo ...

[@Kjell777Iverson]

Draisaitl isn't immobile he just has an awkward skating style that makes him look slower than he really is. He's a beast. Big man who protects the puck well, munches minutes, and has an amazing one timer (to say nothing of his elite passing). He's everything you could ask for in a power forward. Plus I find it hilarious he rarely smiles since he's German.

Season 19/20: Draisaitl 43 goals + 67 assists McDavid 34 goals + 63 assists When Connor was injured Drai proofed everyone wrong who said that he is only a sidekick of Connor. Both have their individual playstyles and benefit of each other. Draisaitl is the unstoppable sharpshooter, while McDavid is the high-speed technician. They are without any doubt one of the best duos in the history of this sport.

[@pdubcentral]

Sonatine no draisiatl is not just a passenger. But the argument about McDavid being injured, it was 6 games. People need to get over that, it wasn’t that impressive. He had 110 points and 75 came with McDavid on the ice. Yet somehow people say they didn’t play together last year. That number tells ya they did. And the argument that McDavid then must need draisaitl, that’s just not true. He is better with draisaitl of course. Reality of it is they are amazing to watch play together and we should be thankful we get to be witness to their greatness. I wanna see them raise the cup so bad. And if they put a a half decent team behind them, they will
