Oilers screwed themselves by wasting the years where they had Draisaitl and McDavid at below market value. I can't see either giving up anymore money to "win" with the Oilers, when there are plenty of contenders out there just as poised to win the cup as the Oilers.
Only way Oilers will be able to extend them is 8 years x market value. If Draisaitl signs for anything less than $14M per, he's left money on the table.
