For those who don’t have X;
"Some news this afternoon regarding
@EdmontonOilers Leon Draisaitl & his contract extension talk. There’s been some talk from local media saying it could be a 4 year deal but after speaking to those close to the Draisaitl camp he’s ONLY interested in signing long term in Edmonton so an 8 year deal is what he’s looking for at this time & it sounds like he will take less $ in a long term deal but only if others are willing to do the same.
Leon Draisaitl loves it in Edmonton & he strongly believes this organization can win multiple @StanleyCup if players take less, some news we heard over the last 72 hours was that Connor, Leon & Evan said if our core players are taking less than we take less.
This is a story to follow as we all know."
