NHL Insider and TSN reporter Chris Johnston has reported that Edmonton Oilers sniper, Leon Draisaitl may not be back with the team next year amidst contract issues.

Leon Draisaitl will undoubtedly become the highest paid player in the NHL after next season, but I don't know how his legacy shakes what happened during this Cup final. Oilers needed him to step up and he never came through.

Draisaitl obviously seemed defeated following the Oilers Stanley Cup defeat last night, but he was very open about how he felt about being an Oiler.

#DEVELOPING 🚨: Stanley Cup loser Leon Draisaitl Expresses Uncertainty About Future Amidst Stanley Cup Final Loss.

In a candid post-game press conference following the Edmonton Oilers' heartbreaking game 7 loss in the Stanley Cup Final against the Panthers, star forward Leon Draisaitl expressed his uncertainty about his future with the team.

«I've given my all to this team, and I know my worth,» Draisaitl stated, his voice sounding disappointed . «I'm not sure what's going to happen next, but I want to play for a team that recognizes that and gives me the opportunity to compete at the highest level.»

These comments have sparked rumors and controversy because it sounds like his heart is no longer in it with Edmonton, and that he wants to leave. A great fit for Leon would be here, wearing the Black and Gold for the B's. With Patrice Bergeron retiring, there is a vacancy for that #1 Centre position and he could make a great fit playing with Pasta and Marchand.

David Pastrnak even stated in an interview with the Podcast Spittin' Chiclets that he was obviously open to the idea of bringing Draisaitl to the Bruins.
