Leon Draisaitl's Number

[MessierII]

I like 29. No big name players rock that number.

Not the 90s or early 2000s anymore where it was the **** to pick a high number. That classic haircut and a *****in >30 number.

29 is pretty slick, nobody uses with authority it since Felix Potvin.

I forgot about Potvin, but when I think of that number, Dryden comes to mind right away for me.

Seeing 29 gets me a little excited, reminds me of Weight.

I think you're thinking of #39

Couldn't figure out how to do four at once:

I've worn 29 my whole life as a tender and a player, love it - but that 71 looks kinda slick, imo

Not big enough name?

Also, Bickell, Ott, Nelson and Pominville wear it. That doesn't mean it isn't my favorite option.

Not a big enough name. Most casual fans don't know who he is yet. Anyways my friend told me he heard on a radio interview he said he was going to wear 29. Can anyone confirm that?

Definitely #29. That's the main one he wore with PA so it makes sense to wear it here as well.

29
92
71
15

I m getting sick of the higher numbers but 71 fits his build.
29 looks best on him, is the number he will choose, and has an element of old school class in my opinion.

Plus i always like seeing 9s on oilers jerseys because weight and anderson are two of my favorite oilers.

#29 would look best because it's rather unique for a forward. #71 is a Malkin knock-off and #15 is very generic.

I liked 71 when Lubo had it, but 29 is much better IMO.

Yeah. I was thinking 29 looked pretty good until I saw the 71.

I kinda like it.
