This deal (4 years) makes zero sense for Draisaitl, as that would be his 30-33 years, meaning signing a deal for 34 and beyond would entail taking a lower number. So you only do that if you are getting MORE for these 4 years (to make up for the likely-to-be lower numbers later). But this deal suggests a discounted number, for a lower term.
Zero chance.
Why would you sign 4 X $13.5 instead of 8 X $14+, when you KNOW there would be a 7 X $14.5-15M available if the Oilers won't go 8 years?
