WHAT HAPPENS IF MCDAVID AND DRAISAITL CAN’T GET IT DONE THIS YEAR?
Leon Draisaitl has just one year left on his deal and Connor McDavid has two. TSN Hockey analyst Bruce Boudreau shares his thoughts on the duo’s window to win the Stanley Cup.
I’m not worried about McDavid leaving.. Drai on the other hand could EASILY go be a #1 paid player on another team so that does worry me as an Oilers fan
The oilers gotta win this thing no excuses no ifs or maybe Its now or never Alot of players i bet aren't gonna be back next year so they gotta do it now while they star power is there
the boys aren't going anywhere anytime soon, they want to win and they want to win together, no where else is this possible. I can see them signing 4 or 5 year deals.
The sad thing is that I wouldn’t even blame Drai if he doesn’t resign next year. We have to get close or win, this year or next. We’re in year 9 of mcdavid and going into a WCF with a goalie whose save % is 0.88%. Holland and other GMs had years to get us a solid goalie and failed. Why would you not go to an American team, pay way less in taxes, better weather and try to win there? I hope they both resign but at this point the problems that have always plagued us still exist. Super frustrating
The Oilers have proven more this year from the coaching change, the depth in scoring, the acquisitions during the season to show a commitment to going deeper into the playoffs. Leon and Connor need to keep the foot on the gas and adapting their play like they have all season. The stars will be a challenge, they have even more depth and the ability to roll 4 lines well so it's a true test. If the Oilers can win the series in less than 6 games they would stand a chance in the cup final.
I've never seen sports broadcaster talk about player wanting to leave a team the way they do McDavid and Drasaitl. People really want to watch Edmonton sink and burn since we got McDavid. We must be the most hated team
Who is to say they would ever get a Stanley Cup somewhere else? There is no guarantee. Stay with the franchise, become franchise legends. They have just the same probability of winning in Edmonton than anywhere else, so please stay.
The 2 Connors and Nurse go , massive riches and a #1 Goalie come back and King Leon stays to win a Cup. History says Mcdavid was never to win a Cup in Edmonton.

At least they won't have to make that choice together. Mcdavid is signed for another year compared to Draisaitl

Why would they leave in the middle of a cup window for this team?
They lose, they’re gone. As a Flames fan, that brings me joy to imagine

WHAT HAPPENS IF THE DALLAS GOALTENDER CAN'T STOP THE PUCK?
They’re not 34 and 88 for the leafs.

if one goes, they both go together. they're a package deal that no team can match. they won't recreate this ever again in their lives.
