Johnny is a UFA coming off a season where he averaged 1.40 PPG. In Draisaitl’s contract year he scored at about 67% the rate Johnny did in his contract year, so ya having Draisaitl sign for about 75% of Johnny’s rate makes sense. I agree with you.

RFA status really doesn't matter any more as far as compensation goes. But I'll agree with you on the production.
But so, OK, let's do Kucherov. 2018 scores 100 points and signs for 9.5x8 (a year out). Or Barkov: Scores at a rate of 95 points every year while being an elite two way centre, signs for 10M in 2021. Is Johnny way better than him?
