Everyone should keep an eye on the Edmonton Oilers, while Stan Bowman was recently introduced as GM.

He will have plenty to do, and that means signing Leon Draisaitl if he can!

The rumor mill is swirling that Draisaitl could end up testing free agency at the end of 2024-2025 when his contract expires.

With this news, Oilers fans could be distraught if the team and Draisaitl cannot find an agreeable contract. This could leave an opening for another NHL team with the cap space to swoop up Draisaitl, could that very well be the Chicago Blackhawks?

According to Sports Betting AG which puts the Blackhawks just below the Bruins of teams Draisaitl could end up.

Great odds for GM Kyle Davidson and the Blackhawks, adding a dynamic and skillful 100+ point forward.

"There is no urgency yet, but either it happens quickly, that is, towards the end of August, or it does not work at all. It will also become clear whether Edmonton really wants it or not. Leon holds all the assets."

The Blackhawks have 3 to 1-odds, meaning a 25% chance of signing Draisaitl in the long run.

While this is only an odds-based betting website, the Blackhawks are an up-and-coming team whose window could be in the future.

Not to mention, Draisaitl could be a great compliment to Connor Bedard here as well. We must keep our eyes on the development on Draisaitl's future in Edmonton and see how it plays out.
