In addition to the overpayment for performance, with most Oilers high profile or long term deals there is either a "can't refuse premium" which Lucic got, and a vanity premium which Drai got, the vanity premium to showcase thst Drai should be viewed as on the same level as Malkin as the one two punch with Crosby and vanity in showcasing they the Oilers takencsrw if their top players so other top players should want to join too.
Draisaitl, Lucic and Russell overpayments are probably worth two decent bottom six/bottom four players.
