He's actually a credible reporter in his work with TSN who chases information directly. Helpful to cut through the misinformation and wild speculation that gets belched up primarily by radio peeps and/or social media randos.
There's overwhelming common sense to believe Draisaitl will re-sign with Edmonton (Cup Final bridesmaid; team ability to offer most years and won't be overbid by anyone; history of investing to keep its star players well paid and happy via all team resources available off-ice).
A "credible reporter" who once said the Oilers should "trade Draisaitl while they can" and who sided with Jim Matheson in the "Why you have to get pissy" exchange. Rishaugs take makes specific mention that Matheson is a HHOF reporter that was wronged by Leon who has a "history" of such exchanges.
Rishaug also in 2017 falsely started a rumor that a team was offering Drai 9.8M in a predatory offersheet. When every other presser and the team itself responded that this was bs Rishaug relented and said that his post was speculation, yet it was worded as something that was occurring.
Could come up with others but Rishaug despises Drai. At times its barely under the surface.
Rishaug also the one that came under fire just this playoffs for posting up a McDavid is hurt video. Rishaug also specifically outed the Kane injury, during the playoffs.
