35 GP - 16G, 26A, 42 Pts.
It would be pretty rare to see a team sit a guy who is sitting top-12 in the league in points and 8th in the league in forward time on ice/game. Especially a team that would need to then replace him in the lineup with Ryan Spooner or Valentin Zykov.
Draisaitl is going to have people suggest he's not moving his feet enough for them his entire time in Edmonton. It's inevitable. Oilers fans said the same about Krushelnyski, Penner, and every big rangy forward in between - no matter their production. It's an Edmonton fan base specialty - right up with complaining that the offensive minded puck-moving defenceman isn't physical enough.
I suppose it's not only Edmonton - Sundin got the same comments for much of his career. Apparently so did Frank Mahovlich.
I do think that it's likely to catch up to the Oilers that they play their top three guys as much as they are - all three are in the top-21 in ice time, but it may just be an inevitability when the rest of your forwards can't produce anything.
I do think that Draisaitl had an off-game last night, but there wasn't many on the Oilers who I didn't think weren't good. I certainly don't think the Oilers would benefit at all from scratching a guy scoring at over a point a game...
