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.
@Kjell777Iverson They know they are the best with each other. Both will resign I do think both take a bit less than maximum to stay Oilers.
@@Kjell777Iversonwhich means that Oilers GM can resign McDavid a year prior to his final season of his contract, as per NHL rules. Common sense... Duuh 🤦♂️💁♂️
@@Kurdem03 Yes. Next summer. Duh.
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.
Given the past underpay 14 is definitely possible
May sound like a bias fan I think Leon will take 12 he deserves it and I think Connor might just go with 13. I see McDavid as a guy that will just go again with the same deal. He wants the cup more then anything
@@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.
@@ryans413 I see both leaving but Dri starts at $13.5 Minimum and McDavid will be $15M Remember the cap will be going up every year and they look at % of cap not the amount
give him whatever he wants, blank cheque. Bouchard / McDavid too. They all want to win, i wouldnt be surprised if they took discounts
If Peety was worth $11.6M Drai is worth at least $13M.
It's going to be north of 14mil. Probably closer to 15.
Dri starts at $13.5M and goes up from there I would say he ends up over $14M on 8 years
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.
I’ll tell you this for free, under no circumstances are the Oilers trading Leon Draisaitl. Either he resigns or plays out his contract, that’s it.
I think he has enough respect for the oilers organization and fans that if he doesn't want to resign he'll make it clear so they can get a massive return for him
@@carterwebster5866 they won’t trade him man. He can tell them he’s not coming back and they still know their best chance to win is with him next season so they will let him play out his contract.
No way they will just let him walk
I could see Leon waiting for McDavids extention and they both do a Toews & Kane, same contract essentially.
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
Bouchard is an RFA meanwhile Leon is a UFA so that’s why Bouchard is on the back burner.
He ain't going anywhere
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.
Interesting...
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.
I've heard he possesses all the Biden cards. Does it work?
Why would he leave Edmonton he has same chance with them as any team he isn't going any where
Give him $$ 12 millions at least... more! when they win La Coupe next year
be worth more like 15-18million by then based off the cap going up following season if we dont sign em this year there is gonna be major changes next yr to get bouch and Drai signed
bouch wont sign for less then 8-12m and Drai is looking like 10-12m but with that said oilers are suppost to split 40m between Drai/Mcdavo/Bouch
The only reason media is talking about this is because Draisaitl is UFA. If he was a RFA this wouldn't even be a video
well yeah obviously
And he will resign anyways if McDavid dose he will. I can’t see any of them leaving I think management has proven to them they mean business and want to win so both of them ain’t going anywhere. Everyone is making this a bigger deal than them it is. I think we won’t hear anything at all until next offseason when they sign Leon and Connor at the same time right after they win the cup.
He'll sign the contract they've already agreed on the day after the new gm signs. He's not going anywhere. $12.875MX8
I bet he will sign one year deal to match up with mcdavid
Sign or trade? Duh. So lose him for nothing? LOL. At least $12mil. This shouldn't be a too hard. Pay him since he's been under paid for his entire current contract.
McDavid 16 Draisaitl 12 done
They should trade him. Not much you can build around when you ha e the 2 most expensive players in the game. Trade him to red wings please :)
You're absolutely clueless that can't figure out the basic math
stfu he isnt going anywhere
McDavid will get 16 Draisaitl 12 only 28 million on the books compared to Torontos 40 million. Both McDavid and Draisaitl do more for the team than 4 guys do in Toronto.
bruins
hes not going to a fringe playoff team lol he's an Oiler till he retires
@@Slipingsapparently a team that almost won the division last year with a worse roster is a fringe playoff team
you guys are lol 1-2nd round exit every year is a fringe playoff team not a contender.
@@Slipings yeah they got swept by the- oh wait, they gave the panthers one of the most challenging series in the playoffs on their way to the cup? (Panthers coach and players said that) how’d that happen?
My 2nd team are the oilers anyways I don’t think they can afford the luxury of draisaitl and mcdavid unless they want to end up like the leafs
..if the Oilers go to McDavid and ask..Leon or 13 million for ..??..Connor may believe he is the man and Skinner and Arvidson are helpers..
Call me cynical but as a Wings fan my bet is Holland signs him for league max.
What team does Holland work for?
Holland is no longer the GM
@@ryans413Oh yeah! That's right! There IS hope. 😂😂😂
Media/ this channel is trying to Hype up the Panic on UFA leon so they have content to make in the off season. Once there’s a GM in place contracts will heat up
Seider and Leon in Detroit…..German Power
Crosby for Leon .....
Trade vancouver for Petterson
Herm... interesting- I could see him as a big bad bruin...
Edmonton does not deserve a few of their players.. I think Edmonton should just be like a farm team for young players to learn before they sign with a much better city... Edmonton is dirty.. Lack's many amenities.. Just my opinion.
They loose DRAISAITL, forget about the Stanley Cup, and McDavid will leave too.
He was hoping to go into negotiations with a Stanley Cup under his belt . Money aside ,dude is arrogant and I think he has an issue playing in McDavid's shadow ... It almost sounds to me like his agents will be looking for extra $ to makeup for their short comings from the last contract . i could see this going sideways fast ...
What are you talking about Leon loves playing with Connor and most of the season they were on separate lines and both there lines were producing. That’s the stupidest take I’ve heard.
@@ryans413 I didn't say he doesn't love playing with Davo or being an Oiler for that matter . The guy is arrogant and his ego won't let him play second fiddle to anyone . I think he honoured his contract begrugingly knowing 5 years in he was being underpaid and now they are going to play hardball trying to make that up ..I am by no means an insider but that's the vibe I get from him ..
@@donwarrington4916 your making this into something it’s not and stretching the truth if you really think Leon has an ego wow you don’t see how hard this guy works for the team someone with an ego would not even care. You know who has an ego Mitch Marner not Leon. I don’t know what you are seeing but that’s just how Germans are they always look mad that’s not Leon the guy is more hard on himself than anything. You are really trying to make this into something it’s not.
@@ryans413 it's entirely possible for someone to be great at what they do and have an ego ...I'm not making it into anything , I have an opinion just like everyone else on these platforms .You don't have to agree with it but it is none the less what I think .
Draisital would be great to be in Buffalo with fellow German player J.J. Peterka
Calm down everyone Draisaitl isn't going anywhere for another 5 to 10 years
If that’s the case, say goodbye to McDavid then due to cap issues.
@@B.LaundersThey can sign both. But yes they need to trade some other players
@@juuhan4892: Keeping both on big contracts pretty much puts them in the same situation as prior seasons: being too top heavy.
@@B.Launders Difference is that cap rises 3-4 mil per season and they have good contracts in Nuge, Hyman etc. Sure they need to find cheap complimentary players but those are easier to find than 100 + elite centers.
Connor will resign at 13 and Leon will get 13. I can see Connor just running it back again and Leon getting an upgrade he was underpaid at 8.5 Connor wants to win he will do what’s right for the team and not making them to cap strapped.
Trade him to Buffalo for Thompson, Krebs, Rosen, & a 2025 2nd pick.
you are delusional, Buffalo would at least have to give up Thompson and one of their top young defenseman, probably Powers or Byram, and maybe another prospect or 1st round pick
Not even half the Sabres roster are worth Draisaitl 😂 keep dreaming
Trust me. Uncle Katz will take care of these boys well after their legs can skate.
Jboy? Hahahaha 😂😂😂
It’s amazing how many don’t seem to understand how a salary cap works. There is a set limit. You can not ice a team that goes over this cap. Only players on LTIR do not count towards the cap. Oilers are over the cap right now. They do not have the double digit multi million dollar cap needed to sign Leon this year OR NEXT. Next year they have to sign Bouchard along with Drai. Unless they get rid of Nurse we are losing Drai. End of story.
They are under cap they just made a trade. Cap is increasing next year.
Even with the trade and cap going up they still don’t have enough to sign Drai along with Bouchard. I stand by my point.
@@dl4189They also are having Kane under LTIR. Drai is gonna stay. Bouchard is probably going too.
The oilers will have $25,000,000 in cap space at the end of their contracts next season. Draisaitl, Bouchard, Ceci, Skinner Perry and Brown are all unrestricted Free Agents & Bouchard is a restricted free agent so safe to say the oilers will have enough to sign Bouchard & Draisaitl
How much money do you make? I'll bet it's no where near what Jeff Jackson makes. Know why he makes what he makes, for 'problems' like this. Don't worry, all three will be signed and we'll still be a very competitive team - just like Pittsburgh was. Now if Jeff Jackson made what you did - then yes I'd be worried lol (no offense)
Trade him to Calgary for Hubordough, shilington,valader, and a second rounder
Imagine if they lose both Bouchard and draisaitl with how the team is ran it’s not unrealistic 🤦♂️
What you mean the team is being ran pretty good right now
@@ryans413 questionable and skeptical
