Cue the Spector article that Draisaitl is worth $15M and $14 is an Edmonton discount because he knows this is where he'll win multiple cups!
I don't think he'll age poorly, I think he'll continue to be productive for many years. It's simply a fair contract. And the problem the Oilers have is that, with fair contracts for him, McDavid and Bouchard, along with the albatross of a contract to Nurse, is that there isn't a lot of cap left to build the rest of the team. That's why the cap is great - it's a zero-sum game.
