It’s possible Draisaitl was never taught the correct technique and as soon as that happened a huge improvement occurred. Versus being taught the correct strides, etc but just lacking the raw ability. Now Tkachuk is all over the place and his dad was a decent skater so I’m hoping against hope it’s the first one. Monahan I think just can’t skate very fast because his stride looks normal to me.
