When the Edmonton Oilers selected forward Leon Draisaitl in the 2014 NHL Draft, expectations were high that over time, he would develop into an impact player for years to come. As time went by and the more experience Draisaitl earned, fans, coaches, and even his own teammates knew he would end up being a special kind of player.
Fast forward to now and wow, has Draisaitl developed nicely or what? Not only did he work his way up to being an alternate captain on the Oilers but is truly becoming a force to reckon with.
