Draisaitl is a very good player, no doubt even though he doesn't give a crap about anything but his own stats and couldn't find the D zone with a Nasa calibrated GPS.
Monahan is far better then Nurse who is a mid pairing top out Dman, and not great at it. Bennett is just even with his struggles far more valuable then Poolparty who can't even remember the words to the song "If I had a brain"
Tkachuk is very valuable and probably a future Captain who has good offensive skills and is statistically a beast without the puck.
I know which group I would take, especially if I was running a team without McDavid, because in that scenario Draisaitl is probably a good player but not a great one.

This is so laughable. Your homerism makes me laugh.
Monahan and Tkachuk point totals put together still don’t get what Drai had. Right now I wouldn’t trade Drai for Monahan and Tkachuk. Sure Tkachuk is a valuable piece, but SM has just as many warts as Nurse does. SM is ideally a second pairing center, who needs someone else to drive the line. The difference between Drai and Tkachuk is more then SM.
I don’t know if I’d trade Nurse for SM it would be close though.
Bennet and JP are a wash and are both crap right now. Bennet got 12 points and is on the way to being the next Jankowski.
