That's not very good when you have one of the worst bottom 6 after guys start getting waived to make cap space.

Not sure who will be on the second line with Draisaitl, but last season he had 53.75% goal share away from McDavid. That's not bad. Draisaitl is one of those guys like Patrick Kane or Huberdeau that usually have mediocre possession stats, but tend to outscore the opposition anyway.
If you compare Draisail's 53.75% to other second line centers I think it compares alright. Kadri for instance had 52.56% goal share away from Mackinnon/Rantanen last year.
