Edmonton Oilers: Ten Storylines To Watch This Upcoming Season
By Jim Lynch
2. Is Leon Draisaitl going to outshine McDavid again?
During the 2019-20 season, Draisaitl led the Oilers with 110 points in 71 games. That gave him the best point total throughout the entire NHL and led him to a few different trophies. However, Draisaitl, similar to McDavid, probably is a little tired of losing during the playoffs.
This team has the star power, and those stars are some of the best around the entire league, but for some reason or another, they just have not gotten it done during the postseason. Maybe Draisaitl can help lead the charge.
By the time this season will end, Draisaitl will be 26 years old and, depending on how this season goes, have very little playoff success to his name. This bright start on the team is definitely fueled to win. The only question that remains is whether or not he can compete with McDavid for the team league in points as he did in 2019-20?
