Bedard doesnt have the leverage that Draisaitl has, therefor he is unlikely to get the same money.

I didn't say I wouldn't give players max-term deals. I'd happily give them out to players emerging from ELC.
Connor Bedard doesn't have the leverage that Draisaitl has? He has all the leverage in the world. Chicago wouldn't trade him for anything, he has the most trade value in the league because he's the most valuable commodity in the league.
But, yeah, if you want to pay 35-year-olds 15.2% of cap, I hope you're in my division.
