Mark Spector says Leon Draisaitl "isn't a 50 goal scorer"
Edmonton Oilers insider Mark Spector is at it again with his "hot takes", claiming Leon Draisaitl isn't considered a 50-goal scorer yet.
According to Liam McCormick of Oilers Daily, Spector was saying the Leon Draisaitl isn't thought of as a 50 goal scorer yet because he hasn't had multiple 50 goal seasons yet.
Not only is Spector's math wrong (scoring 50 goals by definition makes a player a 50 goal scorer), but he's also just completely incorrect. Draisaitl has scored 50 goals or more three times.
What on earth has gotten into Mark Spector these days? To claim Leon Draisaitl is not a 50 goal scorer is one the most incorrect statements we've seen from Mark Spector yet.
Spector has been known to be extremely critical of the Edmonton Oilers, often getting under the skin of players during interviews and media availability with his provoking style of questioning.
On in this particular occasion, he could not be more out to lunch. Leon Draisaitl scored 50+ goals in 2018-19, 2020-21, and again in 2021-22. If my math is correct - that's 3 seasons Leon Draisaitl has hit the 50 goal mark.
So, Mark Spector has contradicted himself yet again. According to his description of a 50 goal scorer, Leon fits the bill perfectly.
