David Pastrnak wants this Oilers star to be a Bruin.
Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak recently appeared on Spittin' Chiclets. During the show, the hosts mentioned players who could be interesting additions to the Bruins and wanted Pastrnak to react to them.
When Leon Draisaitl was mentioned, Pastrnak made it abundantly clear that he would be a big fan of the Bruins landing the Edmonton Oilers superstar forward. No. 88 simply responded: "I would love Draisaitl!"
The Bruins have been connected to Draisaitl, and it makes sense, given their glaring need for a true No. 1 center. The 28-year-old can become a UFA in July 2025 if the Oilers don't get him signed to a new contract before then. Yet, there's a lot of time between then.
Draisaitl would be a dream target for the Bruins, as he is one of the NHL's best players and would give them a much-needed true superstar down the middle. His stats this season effectively display that. In 81 regular-season games, he had 41 goals, 106 points, and a plus-26 rating. He has followed that up with 10 goals and 28 points in 18 playoff games thus far. He's a significant reason why they made it to the Stanley Cup Final.
As a result, it's not shocking in the slightest that Pastrnak would love to have Draisaitl on the Bruins. They would be lethal on a line together because of how dominant each player is offensively.
