I definitely agree that that I think there are a few better guys there, he isn't my first choice. However, he raises a few question marks. Many people felt that Monahan's ceiling was very difficult to peg as he didn't have anyone of note to play with in his last season. I wonder if Draisaitl suffers a bit from the same issue - he is generating points and being very effective, but leaves you wondering a bit as to exactly how many more points and how much more effective he could be with better line mates.
On the other hand, is he just one of those guys that has trouble using line mates well enough?
I can't answer that - those two games I saw him watch I wasn't even looking for those factors, and it was a small sample size anyways. I wonder if anyone watches him often enough on these forums to answer them.
