The National Hockey League has long been aware of Leon Draisaitl’s dominance and Oilers fans have long been aware of hockey lucky they are to watch #29 play on a nightly basis.

That didn’t make Tuesday night in Pittsburgh any less special as the Oilers superstar became just the 103rd player in NHL history, and the first German-born player, to hit the milestone.

Any player who’s one of the first three picks of any NHL Draft obviously has the chance of becoming a star player, but I don’t think even the most optimistic of Oilers fans or draft analysts thought that Draisaitl would have this kind of career.

had Draisaitl ranked 6th in their final rankings, Bob McKenzie had him at 4th, ISS Hockey had him at 6th as well. Some had him as low as 7th in their final rankings.
