I think the sweet spot for most teams with Draisaitl would be $7.85 million x 5. Enticing to the player, Oilers overpay by at minimum $1 million/season, and you save a 1st-round pick in the unlikely scenario the Oilers decline to match. Either that or go $9.8 million x 5 and hope to hell the Oilers stick to their word by matching.
