It's tough without knowing what the return could be
For example would the New York Rangers have offered something like Chytil, Kandre Miller, Kakko and some picks for Drai...maybe.
And maybe that makes them better, or maybe in the end they are worse who knows. I'm the end keeping Drai is probably what gives them the best shot of keeping McDavid, and really that's the most important thing because with that freak you always have a chance.
In the end it's never a bad thing to have McDavid and Draisaitl. Really them for $16 and $14 isn't going to be the issue. It's just becomes an issue with Nurse making $9.25M and then Bouchard also needing a big raise.
But extending Draisaitl isn't really the issue because losing him for nothing as a UFA would have been much worse
