He has earned the right at this stage of his career now to go after his dream, to be the hero that comes home and breaks the drought. What is the draw to stay in Edmonton? Winning a Cup? That would be nice and I am sure he would love it but he will always be in Wayne's shadow there. Draisaitl? Sure they are good friends but when has being friends with teammates stopped a guy from moving on? His wife's restaurant? Big deal, she can open one in Toronto as well. Toronto is where he trains in the offseason with his actual best friend Austin Matthews, his family and friends are there, it's where he spent his whole life wanting to play. Have you ever seen Connor McDavid's Leaf memorabilia collection? It's impressive. The source I have for this is rock solid, he is going to sign with the Leafs.

I want him to string the Oilers along so they can't trade him for a big haul.
