I can see Drai signing for 15/year, but not in Edmonton. I think they would have to offer him something ridiculous to convince him to stay. His wife is an actress. He is a German with no real reason to want to stick around Edmonton. This is his chance to be a star on the big stage somewhere. He's going to take it. Edmonton needs to do more than $15 million to convince him to stay.
Like Gaudreau. The Flames offered more, but it didn't really matter how much they offered, he was leaving. Same with Tkachuk. Same with Gretzky, Messier, Kurri, Coffey, Weight, etc..
