Toews and Kane's twin second contracts signed in 2009, when Toews and Kane were coming off career high 70 point seasons were 11% of the cap. They had yet to win the Stanley Cup and were not in the top 40 in scoring the previous year.

Draisaitl signed his 11% contract after finishing 8th in the NHL scoring. There's really not been much of a model broken, the cap has gone up significantly and as such contracts will go up significantly, just for a bit GM's were justifying the lower cap hits on Toews, Kane and the artificially low cap-hits because they were 47 year long. Hard to negotiate for more when they were the better players.
