I think he is out to get his money this time around.
A $15 million dollar player entering his 30's would be beautiful. Even if its in San Jose.

This is not accurate.
There were a bunch of good young players signing that summer (including MacKinnon), and Draisaitl got more than any of them. He did not 'do the Oilers a favour'.
Having said that, he will be after as much as possible (as every player should) - especially because the contract ended up being a bargain.
