I think Edmonton will continue to tinker for the remainder of this year and next (until the trade deadline). They've got Draisaitl under contract this year and next, no sense pulling the cord until they have to. But I fully expect him to walk in free agency. He hates it in Edmonton and the team is absolutely trash. But man is he going to get PAID when he hits free agency.
Fun Fact: Draisaitl is buddies with Mo Seider. Just sayin'.
Yeah you're right. That was a pretty lame attempt to score the Oiler's 1st.
I'll go back to the drawing board for something more realistic.... maybe a Draisaitl (with extension) acquisition if Edmonton throws in the towel in a couple of months.
