Because it gives them 2 more very real shots at winning the Cup - 2024-25, 2025-26.
What was the alternative?
Draisaitl dragging this out during the season and it becoming a locker room distraction and the Oilers getting punted out of the playoffs with him leaving as a UFA next season.
That would have meant that the Oilers were ROYALLY screwed.
But no no...don't let real logic stand in the way of your delusional reality that you've drummed up in your own metaverse brain.
UNLIKE YOU- Most Flames fans that I know were very relieved that Oilers lost Game 7 but also live in the reality that they came pretty damn close (no matter what reasons make you sleep well at night). That was a nightmare of a month. And No- I don't just believe the team is going to "collapse" because ####in Foegele and McLeod left.
It would have collapsed if Draisaitl left as a UFA though. That would have been guaranteed.

Him walking as a UFA would have been best obviously but this is better than a trade or an actual bargain contract. Most non Oiler fanboys dont think this is a great deal...the guys who compile the fancy stats and judge these things think its high....all Flames homers? Who said collapse, I don't think they are better and they will likely do worse this season.
Wanna bet?
