Leon Draisaitl's Number

[BarDownBobo]

Because why not? Leon wore 4 different numbers during the course of the season, what number would you like to see him wear with the Oilers??


World Junior Championships(#15)

Prince Albert Raiders(#29)

World Hockey Championships(#71)

Top Prospects Game(#92)

[McAsuno]

69?

 

[Mr Positive]

71 because he's our Malkin

 

[AlowlyMcOilersfan]

29 is the best

 

[The Imp]

#36

A "non-roster" number, in that it's above 30, without any particular history behind it (unlike, say, #55, #77, etc).

Also, AFAIR, both Stoll and Horcoff had #36 as their first number, later graduating to highly useful NHL centermen, and a more meaningful #.

 

[Cloned]

92, simply because it'd be awesome to eventually see the Oilers roll out 93 and 92 as their top two dominant C (hopefully...)

 

[Spawn]

15 seems like a good number. Getzlaf-like

 

[Oilers4life1987]

71
29
15
92

First is best n last is last choice

 

[knockoutpanda]

Pretty sure he likes 29, it's in his twitter handle.

 

[OVOXO*]

71 for sure. Malkin-lite

 

[oilers_guy_eddie]

#15 ... Steve Graves

#29 ... Louie DeBrusk

Either way, he will have a lot to live up to.

 

[The Nuge]

29 is his number. I doubt he'll change

 

[Alberta]

He's wearing 55 at rookie orientation camp for whatever that's worth.

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

29 is his number and I like it.

15 is a crap number and very few players, let alone Oilers, have been successful with that number.

I hate the high numbers like 71, so 29 it is.

 

[Da McBomb]

I like 29.

Although I gotta admit, 71 looked good on him too. Kinda reminded me of a Malkin-lite watching him fly down the ice during the Worlds on a couple of shifts.

 

[yukoner88]

I think 22 would look good on him

 

[La Bamba]

Isn't Fayne #29?

 

[ohheyhemsky]

For such a gross number, Draisaitl makes it look good.


29.

 

[LaGu]

He also wore #19 in WJC-U18 in 2013.

Anyway, I guess it is #29. Both in WJC and WHC that number was taken by older players so that could be a reason why he didn't wear it.

As a U16/U18 junior in Germany he wore #29 though.

 

[Zaddy]

29 for sure. Would be weird seeing him with a different number. The number 29 is forever associated with Draisaitl for me pretty much.

 

[CornKicker]

Isn't Fayne #29?

pretty sure he wore 29 as a rookie then switched to 7, similar to how Petry was 58 and is now 2

 

[Dorian2]

#15 ... Steve Graves

#29 ... Louie DeBrusk

Either way, he will have a lot to live up to.

Steve?

Did you mean Adam?

 

[popo]

#36

A "non-roster" number, in that it's above 30, without any particular history behind it (unlike, say, #55, #77, etc).

Also, AFAIR, both Stoll and Horcoff had #36 as their first number, later graduating to highly useful NHL centermen, and a more meaningful #.

I believe Todd Marchant also started as 36 before switching to 26 when he became a regular.

 

[CornKicker]

Steve?

Did you mean Adam?

adam graves was 9

 

[misfit]

15 is cursed. Stay away.


If he doesn't take 29, I hope he goes with 71.
