The Edmonton Oilers forward stayed tight-lipped about a potential contract extension. After that exit interview, some people speculated that he could be on his way out. Since then, rumors of him leaving for the Boston Bruins or even San Jose Sharks have circulated.
In his personal life, Draisaitl has been busy. Earlier this morning, he announced his engagement on social media.

"Forever," is the caption that Draisaitl wrote in his Instagram post. In the post are three pictures with his now fiancee, Celeste Desjardins.
This proposal is coming just over a year after Connor McDavid and Lauren Kyle announced their engagement. McDavid and Kyle are scheduled to get married later this month on the 27th.

In Desjardins' post she wrote out the caption, "The easiest yes. I love you forever." Desjardins is an actress who has appeared in episodes of television series' such as Taken and Letterkenny. She has also appeared in movies like Christmas with the Knightly's, Fashionably in Love and Unforgettable Christmas.
It will certainly be a busy summer for the happy couple. Between joining McDavid and Kyle at their wedding, to planning their own wedding and preparing for the upcoming NHL season.
While the hockey world waits to see if Draisaitl signs a contract extension, he will have more personal things on his mind. His summer is just getting started.
