Leon Draisaitl's agent answered what will happen with his future with Oilers
In a recent interview, Jiri Poner, Leon Draisaitl's agent, emphasized that the Edmonton Oilers need to make a compelling offer quickly or risk losing the star forward.
When asked if he believes a deal will be reached, Poner responded with a confident
"yes," indicating that the Oilers are committed to re-signing Draisaitl and willing to meet his demands. Poner highlighted that Draisaitl, who has been playing on an $8.5 million contract, is no longer interested in taking a discount. He expects to be among the highest-paid players in the NHL, potentially earning $13.5M to $14M annually on an eight-year term.
With these remarks, it's clear the Oilers need to act decisively. Once they hire a new GM, they must promptly offer Draisaitl a fair contract to secure their future. Following Draisaitl's re-signing, the focus will shift to locking in Connor McDavid and Evan Bouchard.
