Leon Draisaitl says he's not happy with his play this season
Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl is having yet another strong season, but when speaking with the media on Thursday ahead of All-Star Weekend, the 27-year-old said that he's not too happy with how he's been playing.
"Yeah, it's been a funny year for me personally, to be honest. I haven't really been happy with the way I've been playing necessarily," Draisaitl said.
He added, "Obviously, the statistics would probably tell you otherwise," he added with a laugh. "I think there's another level to the way that I just want to play, not about statistics or goals, assists, or whatever it is."

When looking at Draisaitl's statistics this season, it's crazy to even think that there's a next level he believes he can get to. In 48 games, the Cologne (Germany) has 76 points (29 goals, 47 assists), 20 penalty minutes and is a plus-five. If Draisaitl continues at this pace, he's on track to surpass his career-high in points, 110, which is had twice, in 2019-20 and 2021-22.
Draisaitl and the Oilers will look to continue their climb up the Pacific Division standings when they return from the All-Star break on February 7th against the Detroit Red Wings.
