Sure, there's risk. If you're a fringe player, bet against yourself. If you're a franchise player, bet on yourself.
How many 22-year-old Leon Draisaitls are hanging around? How will you ever get this opportunity again? You're among the best at what you do and you're scared? No.
You can extract a fortune out of a team as an RFA and the media will help you. The time to quit playing the 1-year deal game is when you're beyond your prime, as Draisaitl is now, and take the retirement deal to the bank.
