The Edmonton Oilers are fortunate to be able to boast two of the best players in the National Hockey League on their roster in phenom forwards Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, who continue to absolutely terrorize opposition defenses and goaltenders.
But it's not going to be terribly much longer until they both can become unrestricted free agents. Draisaitl's current contract expires in 2025, with McDavid's following in 2026. Needless to say, Oilers general manager Ken Holland is going to have his work cut out for him in order to be able to keep them both in Edmonton for the long term.
And if these comments from NHL Insider Frank Seravalli hold any weight, fans who are worried about the chances of one or both of them eventually departing may be put to rest.
Oilers fans will be keeping their fingers crossed that this prediction will come to pass and that both McDavid and Draisaitl will be in northern Alberta for the long haul!
