Draisaitl is going to the bank on his next contract. They figure he can write a number down and get it.
Dreger also figures the Oilers can't afford to pay him that. The chances of him signing in Edmonton are uh... "not going to happen that quickly".
If Draisaitl leaves you know McDavid is guaranteed to leave too. Word out there is that McDavid is already got his eye elsewhere anyway and I would suggest that Draisaitl likely knows that. Why would he stick around in Edmonton?
