The German-born winger has been one of Edmonton’s top performers. He dazzles with the puck and is key in rushing to the net and is a great asset on special teams. He is a playmaker and a sharp-shooter, as well as one of the Oilers’ most underrated forwards. Not to mention, he’s originally a centre who can also play wing.
Overall, he has proven to be the ultimate package for the Oilers. Draisaitl has made his way to the top line, where he has great chemistry and helped them recapture their offensive stride. Given his incredible transition and performance, Draisaitl deserves a big reward when it’s time to renew his contract.
