And that is why the Oilers have to be very careful what they pay Draisaitl. If they believe he's living off McDavid, they don't pay him big dollars. They sign a bridge and make him show he can score on his own. If they pay him that big salary and he becomes that 50-60 point player, its a disaster the team will struggle to recover from. I see a bridge coming. Too much risk in paying him that much dough without knowing his production was not a result of McJesus.
