I honestly think Draisaitl wants to try to win a cup one last season with McDavid, and then try to cash in as a UFA.

I think he will say a lot of the right things, but I doubt he really wants to lock himself into 8 more years in Edmonton.

And for the Oilers it's a bit of a tough scenario...trade him and your chances next season are a lot tougher, and if you have a bad season McDavid then becomes less likely to want to re-sign too.
