Leon Draisaitl Will Not Play in World Championship
German National Team To Lose Its Star Player
Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl will not participate in the upcoming World Championship in Finland and Latvia, a major blow to the German national team. Draisaitl, who is widely considered to be the greatest German hockey player of all time, has been a key figure for his country in international competition, helping them win a silver medal at the 2018 Olympics.
The Oilers' early exit from the Stanley Cup Playoffs this year gave Draisaitl an opportunity to represent Germany at the World Championship, but the star forward has decided to focus on his recovery from a nagging injury. The news will be a major disappointment for German fans, who were hoping to see their star player lead them to a medal in Finland and Latvia.
The German national team will now have to find a way to replace Draisaitl's production, which will be no easy task. The team will be counting on other young stars like Moritz Seider and Tim Stützle to step up and fill the void left by Draisaitl.
