**Breaking News: Leon Draisaitl Re-Signs with Edmonton Oilers on Seven-Year, $59.85 Million Deal**
The Edmonton Oilers have secured a major piece of their future, announcing that superstar forward Leon Draisaitl has re-signed with the team on a seven-year, $59.85 million contract extension. The deal, which averages $8.55 million per year, ensures that Draisaitl will remain a cornerstone of the Oilers’ lineup well into the next decade.
Draisaitl, one of the most dynamic players in the NHL, has been a force for the Oilers since being drafted third overall in 2014. He won the Hart Memorial Trophy as league MVP in 2020 and has consistently been among the league’s top scorers, forming a lethal duo with captain Connor McDavid.
Oilers General Manager Ken Holland praised the move as essential for the team’s future success: “Leon is a world-class player and leader for us on and off the ice. This deal keeps him in Edmonton long-term and allows us to continue building towards our goal of bringing the Stanley Cup back to this city.”
Draisaitl’s new contract reflects his standing as one of the elite players in the game, rewarding his incredible offensive output and versatility. Last season, he posted 52 goals and 76 assists, continuing to cement his reputation as a dominant scorer and playmaker.
In a statement, Draisaitl expressed his excitement about remaining with the Oilers: “Edmonton has become home for me, and I’m grateful to be part of this organization for the long term. We have something special here, and I’m committed to helping bring a championship to this city.”
The Oilers now look poised to continue their push for a Stanley Cup with Draisaitl and McDavid leading the charge. This contract locks in one of the NHL’s most feared offensive talents, giving Edmonton fans plenty to look forward to in the years ahead.
