Whoa, did you just put Draisaitl in the same conversation as Lucic? I'd take Draisaitl on my team any day even at a slight overpayment. Everytime I watch the Oilers play, the guy is an absolute beast and can drive play. Lucic's is contract is on a different level of bad.
Obviously there's been some big blunders, but our GM hasn't been perfect either. There's a long list of failed players and I think our draft pick situation over the next few years speaks for itself. But the main point of my post was to show how polar opposite fans' opinions can be and that in similar situations, the problem likely lies more in the middle than to fixate and put blame on just 1 person.
