Even if they manage to keep all three, it's going to probably going to take about an increase of $12M of salaries to keep them all...and then McDavid is UFA after the following year and will have a big raise.
Draisaitl: $8.5M > $12-13M
McLeod: $2.1M > $4-5M
Bouchard: $3.9M > $9-10M

Draisaitl won't stay. He'll go to whomever opens their bank vault for him. He'll want $14M for 8 years. Someone will come close. He'll also provide 85-90 points per year on that contract. He's only scoring huge in Edmonton due to situational circumstances. He won't do the same elsewhere.
