Yeah, I heard that too.
I kind of snickered.
What are Dra's options right now as an RFA.
Sign a deal at lower dollars that takes him to ufa, which is probably best for Edmonton if they get him at $7.
He holds out and hopes that the Oilers falter.
He pulls in Gio and signs to play in Europe for a year.
Under no circumstances can the oilers afford him at 10 million dollars.
Right now the Leafs are looking at the Draisaitl with a fear of impending doom.
2018-2019 season
McDavid 12.5
RNH 6
Lucic 6
JP 3.425 (inc bonus)
Kassian 1.950
Draisaitl 10
Kharia .675
Total signed forwards 7 total cap 40.55
RFA
Strome
Slepyshev
Caggiula
Pakarinen
UFA

Jokinen
Defense
Sekera 5.5
Klefbom 4.167
Larson 4.167
Russell 5
Total defense 4 signed 18.834
Goalies
Talbot 4.167
Total goalies signed 4.167
RFA
Broissent
Total players signed 12 total cap hit 63.551
The current cap for 2017-208 is $75 million, lets say it goes to 77 million, that leaves 13.449
for 8 to 9 players
That also currently leaves them with a lineup line this
Lucic McDavid Draisaitl
Kharia RNH JP
______ ______ Kassian
______ ______ ______
Sekera Larson
Klefbom Russell
_______ ______
Talbot
______
Out of the RFA's the ones that might earn big raises are
Strome Slepyshev and Caggiula which could make those three range from lets say 6 to 8 million
On the blueline Nurse and Benning will be due raises as well, they almost have to hope that Nurse sucks now lets say those two garner a minimum of 5
So that takes them to the cap with 17 players under contract.
