For the past decade, Leon Draisaitl has been an integral part of the Edmonton Oilers, and after falling just short in the Stanley Cup Finals, he expressed just how much he loves being a part of the organization. Now, the time to back up the talk is almost upon him, as Draisaitl is an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2025, with many people expecting or hoping that he will sign a deal before next season begins.
In an interesting update to the situation, his agent has reportedly given the Edmonton Oilers an ultimatum, stating that if a deal doesn't get done by the end of August, he'll go into his final year before fre agency without a new deal.
Ultimately, right now it appears both parties want to stay together long-term, but if a deal doesn't get done and things don't go well in 2024/25, anything could happen.
