If I were to bet, I think Chicago is going to back up the trucks to grab him to play with Bedard. They can easily afford a 15m x 7 deal with him. And they won’t be the only ones willing to give him 100m or more over 7 years.
When the Oilers are selling at the deadline next year, they can trade Draisaitl as a rental to the Blackhawks for a 1st and a 3rd. Then Chicago can give him 8 years.
