Flames fans favourite insider thinks the Oilers will sign McDavid, Draisaitl and Bouchard to long term contracts, 16M, 14M and 10M
Quote:
Seravalli: “I believe the Oilers have already begun discussions with Draisaitl’s camp.”
Stauffer: “I will tell you this: It’s my belief that the Draisaitl camp will want the maximum. They’re not looking for the Auston Matthews four year deal here. They’re looking at a long-term deal.”
Seravalli “My point is two years from now when the Oilers take the ice, those three same guys are going to add up to $40 million bucks.
Stauffer: “$16 (million), $14 and $10?”
Seravalli: “Yup. That’s my projection. And if the Oilers are sitting in their office with (hockey boss) Jeff Jackson’s big board that he has up there, I think the numbers are really close to that. The cap is also going to be $100 million then.”
Stauffer: “And you think they’re going to get all three, specifically McDavid and Draisaitl?”
Seravalli: “This is the only place on planet earth that both of them can play together. Where else are you going to go to play with Connor McDavid? He’s not going anywhere, I don’t think. They’re best friends. How many times this playoffs along has he (Draisaitl) said, ‘Connor McDavid does things no one else can do?’ ”
