The greenback worth is regardless of the greenback worth Leon Draisaitl needs it to be and the Edmonton Oilers would have been effectively conscious of that.
However I nearly take a look at it like there’s unfinished enterprise now in Edmonton and the truth that they received so far as they did within the playoffs, one win away from profitable a Stanley Cup like him and McDavid have been tied collectively on the hip. And now you check out the offseason that they’ve had to date Jay, take a look at all these gamers that wish to come to Edmonton, wish to keep in Edmonton, some guys taking pay cuts to play for the Oilers.

Why is that? As a result of they wish to win a Stanley Cup and consider that the group is on the precipice of doing so. So for Leon Draisaitl like there’s, there’s in all probability just a little little bit of part of him that claims, let’s get this accomplished in Edmonton. Let’s end the job that we began and that may go such a great distance for Leon Draisaitl’s legacy as an Edmonton Oiler.”
