Origin
and identity

Leon Draisaitl gave German hockey a new NHL reference point with scoring and MVP honours in 2020.

Draisaitl's rise with Edmonton carried significance for hockey in Germany as well as for the Oilers. Selected third overall in 2014, the Cologne forward reached fifty goals and one hundred points in the 2018–19 season.

The following campaign moved him from contender to award winner. His 110 points led the shortened 2019–20 regular season, and the Hart Trophy and Ted Lindsay Award confirmed a milestone celebrated far beyond the NHL.
