That contract could kill that team. He's a great player, but it really makes it tough to be competitive in signing guys down the road. They will be handcuffed for years if the cap doesn't climb. Chicago has had to trade away so many good players because they have 20M tied up in two guys. Edmonton will essentially be in the same boat once Draisaitl signs for 7. If I was an Oil fan, I'd be scared right now.
