Leon Draisaitl on his contract situation (he’s eligible to sign an extension this summer):

“It’s going to take to time to figure out what I want and what the Oilers want.â€

He adds: “I love being an Oiler more than anything.â€


Does that translate to "Who is the GM?" That's how I read it. If it's Holland coming back for another hurrah, we may be in trouble. If he's off in to the sunset and Jackson pulls an ace then we have a chance.

I just pray it isn't another old hockey player looking for a payday...


GM matters for sure. Holland had better be gone. But I wonder if hockey players actually think that way. If I had to bet, I would bet most of the players actually trusted and respected Holland the whole way through. Not sure they think that deeply about all the fine details of the GM work. Got plenty to think about just keeping their own game, health and finances in check and keeping in tune with the coaches and teammates.

It is good that we have Jackson in the position he is now. Not sure I could imagine a better guy trying to get a buyin from McDavid and Drai. It's probably the exact reason he was hired by Katz! Knob was just a bonus so far, lol.

Optimistic on how this will all go. I think Drai has hinted enough lately to put it quite a bit past the 50% line.
