As for the Draisaitl contract negotiations, I feel like the whole "retribution" or "not F'ing around this time" after a player just finished a team friendly contract is mostly just fan fiction.
These guys are professionals. Edmonton didn't screw him over with that contract, in fact it was even slightly over market when he signed it, then he turned into a superstar. Now he'll just negotiate this one at around market rate and either Edmonton will pay it or they won't.
