Good news for the Oilers to get 8 years if true. Wow that is a big cap hit though and will really put them in trouble once Draisaitl is signed.
The Oilers are really paying the price for not developing anyone other than 1st round picks, wasting a year of Draisaitl's entry level contract, and having to fill holes with overpriced FAs. Starting next season they are going to have no depth at all and will need to play McDavid 30 minutes a night and Talbot 80 games a season to remain competitive.
