Idk why people are acting like him not being signed is a big deal. In what world would he sign now when him and Mcdavid can make that choice together next summer? His ask would more than likely be lower if he knows 100% Mcdavid is also staying

McDavid becomes a UFA a year later than Draisaitl, so the Oilers aren't able to extend Connor until next Summer. They are able to extend Draisaitl now. You are definitely right though, I think they want to play together.

Yes or he can pull Tavares move and leave. He has to be signed or traded before season starts

The Oilers want to sign him. He will be signed…. Now find something else to talk about. The Oil had a great run in the playoffs, we just signed some great free agents, we have made at least one trade that I believe will be positive in the near future. Us fans have never been happier or more excited. DON’T mess this moment up for us. Thank you

Would not expect anything until August sometime. 12.5 would be a steal but expecting 13.5 at least.

@@ryans41314 for Leon and 16 for McDavid is well within the realm of possibility. As much as it would be nice to see Leon take a discount so he comes in around 12, His last contract was a discount. He’s been getting underpaid for so long that I could definitely see it being 13 at least. I think 13 would be fair, hoping for a little less, but if cap keeps on the trajectory, then after the next two years more space opens up for the rest of the team as well.

No way they will just let him walk

Draisaitl will float this upcoming season, and if they're lucky, get into the playoffs where they get bounced quickly.

With the lineup intact, the Oilers could win the Cup next June in much the same way the Panthers won the Cup this year after being runner up to the Golden Knights the year before.

Bouchard is an RFA meanwhile Leon is a UFA so that’s why Bouchard is on the back burner.

Draistle said he wasn't going to resign unless it was a deep playoff run

It’s tough. He’s gonna want 13.5 and then McDavid and Bouchard will need contracts soon. Which they would get in a beach town with a nmc and 7 years. I hate to say it but if I was the gm I’d explore what you could get for both drai and mcdavid. Can’t let them walk

I could see Leon waiting for McDavids extention and they both do a Toews & Kane, same contract essentially.

He still has a year left on his contract he dosnt need to sign right now. He can take the summer and they can decide on an extension. Everyone needs to calm down I’m an oilers fan and I’m not even worried because I know he will resign. Plus management be stupid to trade him right now when they are on the cup push.

I’d like to see what draisatle could do on his own I think mcdavid has a lot to do with where he’s at. Then people will know what’s his actual worth.

We’re giving Drai whatever he wants, won’t be an issue.

Give him $$ 12 millions at least... more! when they win La Coupe next year

I bet he will sign one year deal to match up with mcdavid
