Oilers insider officially predicts a mega-deal for star forward Leon Draisaitl
Leon Draisaitl's future in Edmonton is becoming clearer by the day, and now a recent report has seemingly revealed his next major contract.
The Edmonton Oilers have made some huge moves already this off-season, and now, it appears they're closing in on the biggest possible deal of all. According to insider Bob Stauffer, all signs are now pointing to a major extension for superstar Leon Draisaitl, with the prediction now officially being a seven or eight year deal for No. 29.
BREAKING: The Edmonton #Oilers are re-signing Leon Draisaitl. Bob Stauffer confirms the deal will either be a 7 or 8 year contract, and it sounds like it'll be announced soon.
That information comes from Draisaitl's agent according to Stauffer, and after so much discussion about his free agency in the summer of 2025, it would be an incredible move if the Oilers could lock him up on a long-term deal.

«I spoke to Mike Liut (Draisaitl's agent) it's going to be a 7 or 8-year deal. It's probably going to be an 8-year deal realistically»
While the deal is likely to be $13 million AAV or more, it takes up a huge chunk of the Oilers salary cap, but with Connor McDavid wanting to play alongside his star teammate, this will go a long way in helping his impending free agency. The deal with Draisaitl isn't yet done, but all signs point to it happening soon, and with the Oilers loading up in 2024, they've got another incredible shot at the Stanley Cup next year.
