So, to summarise: "How dare Draisaitl ask for a contract based on a comparison with Evgeni Malkin! I mean, he is probably just as good as Malkin, but the nerve of him thinking he might be."
Oilers fans would be aghast to learn that if Draisaitl's camp was indeed using Malkin as an appropriate RFA comparison his price point would be much closer to $12.0 m, and not $9.0–10 m.
