Rumors flying about Draisaitl - Friedman and Matheson have both said that the Oilers might send him down to the WHL if he gets traded to the Rockets.
He's burned a year off his entry level but once he plays more than 39 games he also gets a year closer to UFA status. Rumor is they didn't want him to play for Germany but wouldn't mind him in the dub with Kelowna due to the close ties between the Oilers management and the Rockets ownership (bleh).
Will be interesting to see what happens here when the roster freeze lifts on Friday. Almost makes too much sense for an Oilers move, and PA basically gets something for nothing here if it works out.
