Hello Edmonton Oilers fans, we have an exciting update about Leon Draisaitl and his contract extension talks. According to reports, he's only interested in a long-term commitment with Edmonton. He's looking for an 8-year deal and is even willing to take less money, but only if other key players do the same. <q> Some news this afternoon regarding @EdmontonOilers 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. </q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/2MuttsHockeyPod/status/1817636232954007888'> </a></blockquote></div> Draisaitl loves being in Edmonton and truly believes the Oilers can be a Stanley Cup dynasty if players make some financial sacrifices. <q> 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? </q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/oileralert/status/1817616539815952680'> </a></blockquote></div> It's also being reported Connor McDavid, Leon, and Evan Bouchard have all agreed that if core players take less, they will too. <q> Leon Draisaitl loves it in Edmonton & he strongly believes this organization can win multiple @StanleyCup if players take less, some news we heard over the last 72 hours was that Connor, Leon & Evan said if our core players are taking less than we take less. </q> This is definitely a story to keep an eye on as things develop!
