I hate to admit it, but yeah he is. He struggled out of the gate, but he's figured out how to be an effective NHLer.

If I'm the Oilers though, I trade him. In fact, I trade him, Hall and Eberle.

I build around McDavid as my #1, Nuge as my #2, Yakupov, Nurse and Klef. (Side note: how much as Nuge improved, right?!?! Actually impressed with Nuge after a few very soft years).

Anyway, Draisatl is really good, but he needs to be a #2, and not a #3 or be utilized as a winger. Hall and Eberle shouldn't be part of the long term plan, and as a package they can fetch you something really good (a G or supporting D).

As I type this another goddam Connor/Mess commercial. Eff sakes.
