Questionable late penalties when trailing and the Edmonton Oilers - name a more iconic duo.

Norm!

Right now this is Draisaitl's team. While Conna is putting up assists, he's not near to the same guy as a couple of years ago.
He looks uninspired.

I would stick a defender all night on Drai like glue in the face off circle. Force the other players to beat you.

I don't understand on the powerplay why teams continue to leave him open for the one timer at the right circle which is their bread and butter play. I would have a player mirroring him in the zone the entire time and make them beat you with the 4 on 3.

It's like the Postal Strike: Oilers keep mailin' it in, but there's no delivery.

Hell I would be, he should've held off on signing. To be a guy who's undeniably the best player in the league, won enough individual accolades for a lifetime and will retire considered an all-time great, it's probably demotivating to know your perormance still isn't enough because your team's weak links are still goaltending, depth and defense.

Also...how dare you speak so savagely of the newly minted Chairman of the Edmonton Oilers '50/50' 'Charitable' foundation.
A foundation so charitable that both '50/50' and 'charitable' have to be in quotes...for...legal purposes.

Chiarelli made a lot of mistakes but he signed Draisaitl and McDavid to 8 year deals that ended up being ridiculous value.
That alone makes him number 1 because having those two locked up is the only reason that team was relevant.

Does McDavid rage and demand a trade if they miss this season? He left millions on the table, and they just took that money and gave it to Frederic (lol) and Roslovic (lmao).
I'd be fuming ####ing pissed if I was him, but granted, he's a ####ing moron for signing that deal so hard to say.
