You really think age 21-28 Bedard is going to be a worse player than age 30-37 Draisaitl? Because I'd bet you he's not. Therefore he deserves to be paid for what he brings. This is the time, not at age 30.

No...but that has nothing to do with anything. You just cant let the 2nd leading offensive producer over the last 5 seasons, just walk away for nothing....thats called leverage.
You claimed Bedard has "all the leverage in the world.".....im curious as to what that is.
