I am also still not convinced that he would be as good a fit with the Flames. At the time I worried about having the top two centres on the team with limited footspeed. Also, I do not believe that Draisaitl would have seen the same time on the wing in Calgary as he did in Edmonton, nor do I think he would have recorded a 70-point season.
