He said all the right things. He mentioned he loved playing in Edmonton but he can't just scream "I'll do anything to stay in Edmonton!" lol. That hurts his negotations. So, in regards to that, we really don't know how he really feels about it. I think he probably wants to stay in Edmonton but of course isn't going to be overly enthusiastic about it right now.
It really wouldn't. Drai has all of the leverage here. They don't give him what he wants, he can just walk in a year. Listen to how many would be UFAs say blatantly out loud that want to stay with no caveats even if they don't really mean it. And of all players to play hardball with, why would it be one of the best players in the league? You go and hardball someone like Foegle or Broberg, not Drai.
He said he will talk to the Oilers and See what the plan is moving forward. They have other players to also sign and wants his fair cut. So if they can free up shitty contacts like Campbell and Nurse and with players retiring and guys Like Bouchard to also sign it's everything combined. If there is no money to bring in good 3rd and 4th liners and another couple of solid D-Men then he will probably look look elsewhere for a more established team but he finished with the words I love being an Oiler. Same with McDavid. He said with the crowd of people and their fans and the way things are today being able to bring happiness and joy to people is truly amazing. They love the fans of Edmonton they love being Oilers. So everyone who keeps shiting on the Oilers and thinking that it want out so bad they just went to the Stanley Cup final for f*** sakes I don't see teams like Toronto or anything like that going that far so quit acting like all these other teams are so f****** good Edmonton is a Stanley Cup caliber team and they will win it within the next 2-3 years. With or without Draisaitl.
What's to speculate about? He says what every player says...whatever his agent tells him to. And it's going to always be nice things about whomever his agent is negotiating with at the time.
I had to laugh so hard when some salty fans were hating on the Florida locker room fr not celebrating hard enough. I was like ok have you seen Connor and Leon? Those are two of the most emotionless dudes out there lol
It might be best to wait until they get a preview of the cap next year before committing the money. Both parties want a deal done, it’s just how much do the Oilers pay him.
Here is the deal on whether Draisaitl resigns..He turns and says to Mcdavid " Are you resigning next year?"..If Mcdavid says : "Yes" Draisaitl stays..If Mcdavid says " I''m leaving". then Draisaitl goes elsewhere..simple as that.
Nothing. Maybe there are conversations maybe not But I think best would be he gets a raise long term. Just 10M AAV for the team Year after McDavid should sign for another 12,5 long term
As I keep saying trade Leon Draisaitl for Brady Tkachuk. German Draisaitl can play with German Tim Stutlze. Brady Tkachuk only makes $8.205 AAV. It helps build a team.
He knows what they can build. Hyman and Nuge locked in long terms. Nurse yes long term. Ekholm, Skinner, Kane two more years. Broberg and Holloway will be signed as will Vinny D. And of course Connor McDavid will resign and Leon. Possible to even bring back Brown and Henrique. Yeah Leon knows his best chance is right where he is and will get paid.
Whatever I’m pissed at both of them for not bringing the cup home. Go play sumwhere in the United States idgaf you kno Edmonton isn’t a bad place to be!
Both Draisaitl and McDavid would be financial idiots to extend with the Oilers. They will be able to make so much more money in endorsements in addition to their salaries (with lower taxes by the way) playing with big market US teams vs staying with the second or third smallest market Canadian team that has a long tradition of losing. I don't think either of them have suffered enough pucks and elbows to the head to even begin to think that Edmonton is what lies beyond the Yellow Brick Road for them. They will leave the Oilers for the same reasons Gretzky did. Money and earning potential.
I watched the interview and I wasn't catching the vibes all these folks are talking about at all. I say Oilers need to go cup or bust this season and cut your losses. If you at least get a cup out of this era then you're good. But like every team in the league... life happens, things change, people (players) desires in life change, players get older and want to spend more time with aging parents. I think people sometimes forget these superstars are also people, with the same problems all people have. Leon and Connor are steam-rolling towards their 30's. I for one absolutely don't expect them to extend for a number of reasons. But hey... on the bright side if they do extend. You can enjoy an aging core, and it's subtle decline. Sadly, these guys best years are behind them, and though I think they will still put up good numbers for the next 6 seasons... age is age, and it's going to hit them like it does everyone else. In my thinking they both have about 6 productive years left, and the clock is ticking.
No one has verified thatLeon was injured,Leon has no grit,and everyone was injured one way or another!He,damn it is overrated,In the really big games he ain’t got it,the figures don’t lie!!!

he wants to stay but he can't say it so loudly or he will make his agents job harder to get a good deal

0:09 Mcdavid is the king of depression 😭😭😭 Oh my God look at his face
How rude can you be??
He looks like a loser!!!! Failure of a captain. He's thinking without Leon there's nobody else good on the team
we got a sensitive pants over here😂😂 zipit bozo@maryann7775

Draisaitl will go where he gets the best offer. It is not “Edmonton first”, that’s for sure.
Here is the deal on whether Draisaitl resigns..He turns and says to Mcdavid " Are you resigning next year?"..If Mcdavid says : "Yes" Draisaitl stays..If Mcdavid says " I''m leaving". then Draisaitl goes elsewhere..simple as that.
The best thing the Oilers can do for McDavid is trade him. He's turning into the next Ray Bourque.
Draisaitl to the Flames confirmed
Draisaitl for Huberdeau and Calgary's 1st round pick
Now that’s a fantasy
i would take him off camera just for the way he ended that segment and set fire to his contract....he tries SO HARD to be funny it's downright painful
Nothing. Maybe there are conversations maybe not
But I think best would be he gets a raise long term. Just 10M AAV for the team
Year after McDavid should sign for another 12,5 long term
How freagin' dare you tell the media to relax Mr. Buttons~ !!
I heard he might go to Vancouver 😮
He could be gone but no way a team can afford to pay him over 7 years. Oilers getting the 8th year could be crucial.
As I keep saying trade Leon Draisaitl for Brady Tkachuk. German Draisaitl can play with German Tim Stutlze. Brady Tkachuk only makes $8.205 AAV. It helps build a team.
One of the weirdest endings to a sports video I have ever seen...Actually made me feel uneasy after
This guy is about as warm and endearing as a snowcone. He's a floater in my book and he'll go wherever the money is good and the work is easy.
He knows what they can build. Hyman and Nuge locked in long terms. Nurse yes long term. Ekholm, Skinner, Kane two more years. Broberg and Holloway will be signed as will Vinny D. And of course Connor McDavid will resign and Leon. Possible to even bring back Brown and Henrique. Yeah Leon knows his best chance is right where he is and will get paid.
Vinny will not be signed. They have better D men than him.
Doesn’t know yet.
he is gone ....
Not likely
minim. $$ 12.5 + millions.... o/w you gonna get OFFER SHEETS! from i dunno...Utah...etc
Whatever I’m pissed at both of them for not bringing the cup home. Go play sumwhere in the United States idgaf you kno Edmonton isn’t a bad place to be!
Oilers Org. needs a GM with B@!!s get rid of dead weight .
He’s staying !!!
Lol, let`s talk about...about what?
Dude said nothing, but they will talk.
Guess what...
Not gonna miss the no look back hand giveaways one bit.
He’s out , but will be ok 👍🏻
No he’s not bot
@@Cheesiemccatbutt bot ? Huh ? It’s ether him or Conner take your pic
gone ....say bye ....bye....no more microscope on your play every day

Not to late to delete your idiotic comment
Gretzky didn’t leave Edmonton Peter Pocklington sold his contract for $18 million. This was not Gretzky’s choice.
Dumb
It's not about the money anymore. It's about winning the SC and where best they can do that and preferably together.
Okay so there are so many issues with your comment but how are Leon and Connor going to win elsewhere if they chase the bag?
2 GIRLS, NO CUP
😂😂😂 they won't make it there again
You have problems with girls if you have to use that as an insult.

They blew their chance, they are both gone. Oilers back to the basement for the next fucking decade lol
He gone
Bruins would be the perfect fit
Yeah it is and we have a boat load of cash
No one has verified thatLeon was injured,Leon has no grit,and everyone was injured one way or another!He,damn it is overrated,In the really big games he ain’t got it,the figures don’t lie!!!
he choked in the finals people
He was hurt. You play hurt and see how well you do.
He was injured.
He’s gone. It’s ok. He’s never healthy in the playoffs when we need him. We can get just as good as a player for less
He will go to the Leafs. Toronto wins the Cup in 2025.
😂😂😂
he will stay
