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 🙌

Fans will have likely felt reassured after hearing Draisaitl's comments, as many began to worry that his future with the team was in jeopardy. Draisaitl does only have one year left on his contract, however all signs are pointing to him being committed to the team and fans, and wanting to remain here long-term.
Leon did get engaged to Celeste Desjardins recently, which could also be an indirect sign that he has no plans to go anywhere other than Edmonton for a very long time.
