I remember Brendls warts appearing fairly early in junior. Even though he put up huge points, he was known for being a huge floater on the ice, and the lazy tag seemed to pop quite early and often. He might fail in other ways, but I just don't see/hear the same type of glaring issues with Draisaitl.

Well he is German. Not the laziest of people.

If his work ethic as as good as you suggest, he'd be a better skater.

Perhaps, or maybe that's as fast as those giant birthing-hips of his will ever go.
