Have to think if the Oilers get past the Stars, regardless of what happens in the finals, that they try all summer to sign Draisaitl longterm. I have heard that McDavid and his lady like it in Edmonton but that he wants to win a championship. Signing Draisaitl is probably the key to show that longterm commitment. Suspect if they win a championship McDavid is a lock to sign an 8 year deal. If you are the Oilers you probably give him the max if you have to in that scenario and figure it out afterwards. Definitely not the greatest time to be a hockey fan.
