Not trying to turn this into a Draisatil thread but I believe he'll be playing hardball now (unless they have a deal already worked out prior to today). There has been speculation (TSN) about him being unhappy with how Edmonton handled him during his rookie season. He then went and out performed their golden boy in the playoffs. And of course, having to live in Edmonton, there has to be compensation for that right?
Anyway, back on topic. Yes that seems steep, but you could argue that with Johansen healthy the Preds could be Cup champions.
