I think if the Oilers ultimately decide that they need Draisaitl carrying the second line, then this could be closer to a reality. Last year he scored at about a 50-point pace when separated from McDavid. I am sure he would provide solid to great second-line production, but that is not enough to warrant a +$9.0 m payout, and it will weaken the top line.
