At the time it seemed like an overpay for Draisaitl, but it turned out to be a bargain of a contract for the team and the player ended up underpaid by a fair bit. He should absolutely be out for as much as he can get as it's his big opportunity for the big payday.
I have no problem with players signing for as much as they can get. It's typically a short career and it's not like pro teams are out for anyone except themselves. He'd be doing himself a disservice to take anything less than the maximum he can get imho.
