PENTICTON, British Columbia -- He's a year older, a year wiser, and a year further along in his development, but Leon Draisaitl's goal remains the same.
The 19-year-old forward wants to become a full-time member of the Edmonton Oilers.
"It's the same mindset at last year," Draisaitl told NHL.com at the Young Stars tournament. "I want to establish myself as a full-time NHL player. That's my goal. That's what I worked for all summer. Putting in all this work, you don't do it for nothing. You want to make the team and then you want to impress people.
