Wills is terrible. He typically just parrots what he hears elsewhere, so he likely heard this from an Edmonton media member on Saturday and regurgitated it.
I would take all of Johnny, Tkachuk, Monahan, Lindholm and Gio over Draisatl, and I truly think Bennett will eventually be a more valuable piece (at a much cheaper contract) too.
If McDavid gets injured Draisatl is basically a very good 2nd line WINGER or good top line WINGER. He has proven that he can't do it on his own
