Despite their incredibly successful regular season production in recent years, the duo of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are yet to lead the Oilers past the Western Conference Finals, and now, their future in Edmonton has been called into question.

How long will they remain together?

Many fans and insiders have predicted that when the contracts of Edmonton's two top stars come up, one if not both could be on the way out, but now, the sentiment has certainly changed.

According to Oilers Insider Bob Stauffer, there's more than a 50/50 chance that both will re-sign long-term with the Oilers.

I will say this, what happens, and there's a chance, I might insisit to you it's better than 50/50 that both Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid sign long-term here.

Next step: Stanley Cup success

Despite putting up 153 and 128 points respectively, good for first and second in the NHL, the Oilers are yet to pick up a win in the Western Conference Finals with this duo leading the way.

It appears only a matter of time until that happens, but for now, there's no better option for the Oilers to keep them both around, and if they find that next gear in the playoffs, this could be a duo that wins multiple cups together.
