Leon Draisaitl & his contract extension talk. There's been some talk from local media saying it could be a 4 year deal but after speaking to those close to the Draisaitl camp he's ONLY interested in signing long term in Edmonton so an 8 year deal is what he's looking for at this time & it sounds like he will take less $ in a long term deal but only if others are willing to do the same.

Draisaitl loves being in Edmonton and truly believes the Oilers can be a Stanley Cup dynasty if players make some financial sacrifices.

So now that the #Oilers have hired a new GM and McDavid's wedding is over, the next piece of business is to get a contract extension complete for Leon Draisaitl.

My guess is that he signs for ~$13.5M x 8

What does everyone else think?

Leon Draisaitl loves it in Edmonton & he strongly believes this organization can win multiple

This is definitely a story to keep an eye on as things develop!
