Hey, I hate the Oilers as much as the next guy but can we seriously sit here and say that this Flames roster wouldn't be vastly different if we had neon Leon instead of hotly debated Sam Bennett?

I'm of the opinion....coming from a top 5 Bennett booster on this board that Draisaitl (scoring champ) would be this teams number 1 center.

I absolutely Loathe the fact the Oilers have Draisaitl. I loathe the fact I think he is a turd burglar and a bit of a chump. But what is undeniable is his talent, skill and production. He is the primary player on an Oilers team that has the supposed best player on the planet McDavid. I know Oil fans personally who belive this. And I think they're right.

Tell me you would care if Draisaitl put up 120 beside Gaudreau but didn't care about defense.

Tkachuk is a good player. Maybe not great but IMO he isnt even close to Draisaitl. I HATE SAYING THAT. And the position thing as always tells us who is more valuable. Centers.

Stupid Oilers. Draisaitl on any other team, literally any other team and nobody here would be slanting him this hard.


Meh. I hate that you made me defend a stupid Oiler. But Neon Leon is legitimately better than chuckles.
