Draisaitl is a beast of a player. Any team would be lucky to have him.
So pay him for past performance? Bold.

Jonathan Toews signs his huge contract in 2015 at the age of 27 on the heels of their last cup. Over that contract, the Blackhawks only made the playoffs 3 times and never won a playoff series again while he was there.
