NHL Insider Reports The Bruins Are Heavily Pursuing Oilers Superstar

Amidst this success story comes an intriguing piece of news that has caught everyone off guard: one of their star players is on the radar of an Eastern Conference powerhouse.

Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal reports that the Boston Bruins are setting their sights high, aiming to lure Leon Draisaitl away from the Oilers. Here's what's buzzing:

Despite Matheson's belief that Draisaitl is keen on staying with the Oilers by signing an extension, it appears the Bruins are prepared to go the extra mile, or as Matheson puts it, move "heaven on earth" to see him don the iconic Boston jersey.

At 28, Draisaitl has been nothing short of phenomenal for the Oilers. With a tally of 38 goals and 55 assists in just 70 games this season, he's solidified his status as one of the league's premier talents, amassing a whopping 93 points.

While the idea of Draisaitl leaving Edmonton seems far-fetched at the moment, the longer negotiations drag on regarding his extension, the more plausible this surprising move becomes. The clock is ticking, and it's clear the Bruins are in it to win it.
