McDavid is worth his cap hit but Draisaitl is overpaid by 1.5M IMO.
McNugget 12.5M
Draisaitl 8.5M
Lucic 6M
Add in 22M for 4D and goalie
That's almost 50M tied up in one forward line, an average top 4 and a goalie. That's also assuming they can get rid of RNH without retaining. Not necessarily 'cap hell' but they will have the same challenges Chicago is facing. Those Lucic and Russell contracts are going to hurt.
