Draisaitl easily fetches 100m / 7 years on the open market. They’re fools if they think they can basically get an extra year at no cost. To entice him to stay it would need to be 13.5m at MINIMUM. And that’s not even factoring in McDavid who likely gets 16-17m, and rightfully so. Those two combined would account for roughly 30% down the road (assuming it eventually gets to 100m), just for easy math purposes. I highly doubt Draisaitl takes a discount when he already has been playing at a discounted rate his whole career. Same thing goes for Connor.
