Draisaitl is a bust.
He produces in the CHL for the same reason that undrafted 20 year old over-agers do. Because he is bigger and more physically mature than the teenagers he plays against.
When you take away even just some of his size and strength advantage (because he's still bigger than a lot of NHLers), he can't even buy a point.
He was force-fed easy offensive zone minutes by a team where he had zero defensive responsibility, and he scored at a 3 goal pace.
Bust.
