Viral Wedding Photo of Leon Draisaitl Takes Hockey Fans by Surprise

Photos from the party quickly circulated around the web, but a particular photo posted to Leon Draisaitl's official Instagram story gained the most interest.

Draisaitl is in His Bare Feet and Smoking a Cigarette at a Wedding Table

The photo shows the Oilers' No. 29 sitting at a table, with his feet bare and a cigarette in his mouth, a sight rarely seen from a professional athlete. Players will go out of their way to avoid such public sights, but Draisaitl appeared entirely unruffled.

There's little chance this will stop the 29-year-old German sensation on the ice. He ended his fourth season in his career with 50 or more goals and his sixth season with 100 or more points, cementing his status among the league's highest scorers.

This year, Draisaitl starts the first year of his eight-year extension contract, averaging $14 million a year. That deal makes him the league's top-paid player by average annual value for next season.

That status, however, may not be long-term, as his teammate Connor McDavid will likely end up making more in a new deal next season. For at least the time being, Draisaitl's head seems to be geared towards celebration and total supremacy.
