Leon Draisaitl stands out as one of the NHL's most prolific players today. Despite his formidable talent on the ice, he currently ranks third in career points over the past decade.
However, with Connor McDavid widely regarded as one of the best hockey players globally, the Oilers have not made re-signing Draisaitl a top priority this summer, leading to speculation that he may be off to a new NHL home following the upcoming season.
After speculation quieted down, David Pagnotta discussed the possible terms of Draisaitl's extension. During a phone interview on the Hello Hockey Show, he suggested that Edmonton might pursue a medium-term contract, similar to the one Auston Matthews signed with Toronto.
Despite potential discontent among many Edmonton fans, it seems probable that Leon Draisaitl will stay with the team for several more years. Yet, if his demands become excessive, it could spell trouble for the Oilers in the future.
