Oilers did the same thing with Draisatl in his 1st year, and that caused a domino effect where he now has a crazy contract that could have been delayed a year later.

False, you actually have to play the 10th game to burn a year of contract. Being on the roster only matters if you are there for 40 games, then you burn a year until UFA status.
