Something tells me Draisatl is lacking that ingredient that makes Getzlaff so competitive at the NHL level.

No need to get worked up. Style of play only describes how a player plays. It's never going to be a 100% comparison. How many times have we heard a player plays like Milan Lucic? Doesn't mean the player can score, go through defenders, and fight like Lucic.
Draisatl's puck protection and playmaking skills have been compared to Getzlaff's.
