Since I am clearly an Oilers fan, and hope Draisitl wins, I will add that he also PK'd for the Oilers (2nd ranked PK in the league) and is the first choice PK player when Oilers are down 3-5. Say what you want about plus minus, he still contributes to the Oilers defensive game - like taking D-zone draws.
He had the highest F/O % out of the 3 at 52.1% (led the team), where Breadman was 50% and MacKinnon was a lowly 43%.
Great seasons by all of them, and all carried teams when other key people were out - especially MacKinnon.

If the crieteria is the player most valuable to his team, would you say he is more valuable to Oilers than McDavid? I don't think he is. To me that is where Draisaitl comes up short in this debate.
