The 28-year old has been an absolute star for the Edmonton Oilers, tallying 834 goals in 705 games for the team over the past nine seasons, with one insider revealing his future may lay elsewhere.
This is just pure speculation on the part of Darren Dreger, but given the relationship between the two sides, if an extension was in the works, you would expect it to happen immediately. If not, like Dreger speculates, it could mean trouble for the Oilers star pairing.
If the team can win a Stanley Cup together, things will obviously change, but Draisaitl will be one of the NHL's most sought after free agents, and no one could blame him for leaving the Oilers if they don't find that success.
When asked about his future in Edmonton, Draisaitl gave a typical hockey answer, but in doing so, made many Oilers fans extremely nervous about his future.
While we all want to know where he and McDavid will end up when they hit free agency, only time will tell, and the Oilers playoff performance this season could be very important to that future.
