Edmonton Oilers superstar center Leon Draisaitl just addressed fans of the team for the first time since the season came to an end.

Unsurprisingly, Leon Draisaitl's works were largely thankful and appreciative towards the fans of the team. He reassured them that the team has what it takes to win it all after they came so close last season.

Leon Draisaitl reflects on a memorable season in Oil Country. 🧡💙

"A bitter end to a tremendous season. I am confident the growth our group experienced will propel us to the top. Thank you #oilcountry for your unwavering support all season long."

Leon Draisaitl shared his season ending message this morning.

Thank you for everything this past year Leon & we're excited to see what you do next season 🙌

These comments will likely assuage the fears of many Oilers fans, who may be under the impression that his future with the team is uncertain. After all, he has just one year left on his current contract. That being said, this comment did not sound like it was coming from a player who had any inclination whatsoever to leave the team any time in the near future.

Draisaitl is quite a private player, so he does not make public comments directly to fans like this. This will likely add to the sentiment that he is not going anywhere. That being said, we did also get some big news from him just a few days ago as he proposed to his long time girlfriend Celeste Desjardins. Again, this could be another hint that he plans to stay in Edmonton long term.

Will Draisaitl spend his entire career in Edmonton? Could he shock the hockey world be signing elsewhere? These are some of the questions we will be looking forward to answering over the next year.
