No player is worth 12.5 million in a cap era.

Everyone knew Edmonton would have to pay him, I just think its funny he is the highest paid player and hasn't won anything. I get it, he won the Art Ross and the Ted Lindsey.

I love this signing though even more than giving Russel 4 million per. I couldn't help myself but laugh. If the Oilers pay Draisaitl more than 6.5 per, they are seriously F'ed. Cant wait for them to pay him 8. With Lucic and Nugent-Hopkins at 6, these guys are a bunch of beauties. Look out NHL, the Oilers are for real.

Tree is looking like a king after signing Monahan and Johnny to under 7 million dollar deals long term. Even the Gio contract is good compared to the Russel deal.

Anyways, just my two cents.
