Edmonton is not inclined to let [Draisaitl] simply play out the final year of his contract . . . Trying to get him extended is considered a «massive priority» for the Oilers at the outset of this offseason, but they'll pivot if he shows any reluctance to commit. They've got some wiggle room to trade Draisaitl, if it comes to that, since his contract includes a 10-team trade list alongside a no-movement clause.
As the Oilers and their fans hold their breath, the hope is that Draisaitl's bond with the city and his teammates will lead him to re-sign and continue his quest for a championship in Edmonton. If his declarations of loyalty are anything to go by, Draisaitl may yet decide to stay put and help bring the Cup home.
