That's why he would be leading in penalties drawn.

The only place where I have found the stats on that is NHL.com. They use penalties drawn per 60 minutes played.

If you go by that than the players that draw the most penalties in 60 minutes of ice time are:

1.Matt Tkachuk
2.Cousins
3.Abdelkader
4.Martin
5.Wilson
6.Konecny
7.Hartman
8.McDavid
14.Gaudreau

If he's getting preferential treatment, than wouldn't you have to say Gaudreau is as well?
I don't know if you can even go by the statistical story on the when we talk bout Gaudreau, the eye test basically says differently.

If he was getting the benefit on the doubt with all of the hand slashing that goes on with him he would be a lot higher on the list.
