This is what they get for doing McDavid's deal first. Once they gave McD 12.5, they handed Draisaitl at least an extra 1.5M.
Also, I'm starting to think ELCs are going to be a major battleground in the next CBA. The next agreement probably won't have 3-year deals - I'm thinking four at minimum. The owners will probably ask for five.

Yeah it was amateur of chia to do mcdavids extension well ahead so that draisaitls camp could have a measuring stick for his demands to capitalize on one great season. Inversely, If they signed Leon first and got him to take say 7-7.5, maybe it would work to get mcdavids cap within the stratostphere of the rest of the team. Maybe not a huge difference cause of his leverage as a top player but it could've moved the needle.
The oilers seem to do a lot of not well thought out things. Chia fits in well.
