Leon Draisaitl has broken this season in the National Hockey League (NHL) neat records. At the season’s final appearance for the Edmonton Oilers, he has to now be 50. Goal of the season is no longer made, it was long the tradition club from the best hockey League in the world. The 23-year-old Kölsche Jung Matures as the best striker in the world. Such exploits are also appreciated in the home, in front of a day was happy, the German hockey Federation (DEB) via Twitter: “What a season for our national team players”.

However, “our national team players” is now considering whether he wants to do that with the world Cup in may in Slovakia and for the German Team runs. For the Association, much is at stake. The new national coach Toni Söderholm was already in Draisaitl in North America, he fears for the participation of its Stars would have plenty of time, since Edmonton is not playing in the Play-offs, in spite of his crowning achievements.

After the silver medal win at the Olympic Games many things have gone wrong with the German Association. The momentum of the success of the DEB was able to use the world Cup in may 2018 ended prior to the quarter-finals, in November, success coach, Marco Sturm went. And what if the best German player does not come to the world Cup? It would be bad for the tournament, a disaster for the German ice hockey.

Draisaitl would be in the case of resignation hardly a reproach. Because when he was small, of Leon, because he was always there for the national team. Even if the didn’t want him, as once Pat Cortina, the Draisaitl before the world Championships in Prague 2015, almost would have been sorted out. Last year, not happy Draisaitl especially at the world championship in Denmark, after he had been able to be in the Olympics. But hardly he was pushed to the German Team, he marveled at the training camp of Berlin, that half of the successful Olympic lacked team – so many players had cancelled. In this respect, Draisaitls decision would fit the structure even to the Total.
