This in from Bob Stauffer of the Edmonton Oilers, news that Leon Draisait is signing with the Edmonton Oilers.
“I spoke to Mike Liut, who is with Octagon. Mike Liut and Andy Scott will be the guys heading up negotiation for Octagon. It’s going to be a seven or eight-year deal. It’s probably going to be an eight-year deal realistically. The reality is that for the Edmonton Oilers organization, for the success of the Edmonton Oilers, the two biggest things they need to do in the next two years is get extensions done with Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid. And that’s not lost on Stan Bowman (Edmonton’s new GM), who did resign both Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews to eight year deals at $10.5 million.”
