Glen Gulutzan had high praise for Leon Draisaitl

«I think that's where his game has come, it's a way more complete game than it was seven years ago when I was here. He's just developed in all ways, physically, the ability to score, the ability to make plays. He's just gotten better with age.»

«The biggest thing for me when people ask, is that our superstars, when we're talking Connor and Leon, they don't have huge egos, they're very humble,»

«They don't need a lot of limelight and they don't thrive on that. They just thrive on competing and playing. That's the biggest thing for them. On any given night one of them is taking over or doing something great in the game, but they don't have the ego to always need to be at the forefront.»
