He stated during the IIHF World Championships that he made contact with the Edmonton Oilers star forward, Leon Draisaitl.
Not just for friendly words, but in order to recruit Draisaitl to the Bruins:
According to NHL rules, it is forbidden for any players, agents, or general managers to speak to any other NHL player currently under contract with another organization.
Even hot-take machine Ryan Whitney was stunned by Pastrnak's casual admittance of his idea to recruit Draisaitl.
According to reports Draisaitl and the Bruins have been linked over the past year. But after July 1st, he can sign an extension in Edmonton or seek better fortunes elsewhere. There's been rumors swirling over the net, that Draisaitl would seek a trade from the Oilers, to find greener pastures, but there is no confirmation of this.
Draisaitl has reached the penultimate game for any NHL players career, in the Stanley Cup Finals tonight at 8 PM against the Florida Panthers.
Will he re-sign in Edmonton?
