Oilers' McDavid and Draisaitl Eagerly Return to Training After Short Break
In a testament to their commitment and resilience, Edmonton Oilers' stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl have reunited at the gym, barely taking a breath since their last season ended.
This early return to training was highlighted in a recent video that has excited fans all over, showing the duo engaging in rigorous off-ice workouts.
The Oilers, still reeling from their near miss in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, seem to have wasted no time wallowing. According to Connor McDavid, speaking at Zach Hyman's celebrity event, a number of Oilers have skipped the usual lengthy offseason break.
Leon Draisaitl's return to Edmonton is particularly noteworthy. Fresh off a trip to Spain where he proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Celeste Desjardins, Draisaitl's presence in Edmonton is timely. With the Oilers on the cusp of naming a new General Manager, his return could also be crucial for discussions regarding his future with the team, including contract negotiations.
For Oilers fans, seeing McDavid and Draisaitl back in action together is a promising sign. Their dedication underscores the team's ambition and sets the tone for what could be the most formidable lineup in the McDavid era. With renewed motivation and the bitter taste of last season's defeat still lingering, the Oilers are gearing up for what they hope will be a deep and victorious run in the next Stanley Cup chase.
