There's ample evidence of 'second-tier' stars getting 10%+ of the cap as RFAs in their second contract, if it wasn't a bridge deal.

Backstrom, Vanek, Kane, Toews (at the time), Getzlaf, Perry. Phaneuf's second contract was 13% of the cap, today that second contract would be worth over 10M.

The Oiler's may have ruined the salary structure, but that was with Vanek and Penner offersheets. Draisaitl should have been expected.
