I remember the old days of shadowing players... imagine how many penalties the King shadowing him would draw due to repeated nut shots and slashes from Pissy.

Great idea. The Kings would have to assign two players to that job, just because of the number of minutes Draisaitl plays.
In the '86 Battle of Alberta, Bob Johnson had two players shadowing Gretzky. At first, I believe, it was Carey Wilson and Neil Sheehy. I forget who took Wilson's place after Steve Smith de-spleened him. It's no coincidence, I believe, that the Flames lost the '88 series in a sweep after trading both Wilson and Sheehy away earlier in the same season.
