Draisaitl is one of the best offensive players in the league, but his numbers are hugely inflated, playing with McDavid. If he were the #1 C on a team, having to drive his own line, and being the focal point of opponents' defensive strategies (like all other stars are), he would be an 80-100 point player, just like 10-15 other offensive stars.
He is a good player, playing with McDavid - he isn't the 2nd best player in the league. Not even close, IMO.

The two best players in the league play on the Avalanche, anyway.
