It feels strange to slot a forward group with McDavid and Draisaitl outside of Tier 1.
McDavid is the best player in the league, and Draisaitl, on the back of an impressive two-way glow-up, was the 2024-25 Hart Trophy runner-up. Those two are a cheat code in the playoffs — forget taking over games, these two can take over entire series. That, coupled with some timely bottom-six scoring, allowed them to comfortably eliminate Vegas and Dallas (for a second consecutive year) in the playoffs, two deeper teams on paper.
