In most instances, Draisaitl and McDavid centered other players on their own lines. In times where they needed a huge amount of offense and a scoring threat, the two were moved together.
The Seattle Kraken, who fought until the very end against the Dallas Stars last year, are the team McDavid and Draisaitl face tonight.
In the absence of an official opening night roster, it's to be expected except for the starting goalie and McDavid and Draisaitl.
Dylan Holloway, Ryan McLeod, and Mattias Janmark are all rumored to make the roster, but nothing has been confirmed. It is also possible that Adam Erne and Raphael Lavoie could end up being bottom-six options for the team.
Also, Philip Broberg is projected to end up as the club's 7th defenseman, but could also be traded if the team needs another boost.
