Also- why people are glossing over the fact that he VASTLY outperformed his last $8.5M AAV contract so obviously he is recouping some of that from his employer.
Draisaitl is a beast of a player. Any team would be lucky to have him.

No one is debating, or 'glossing over' that. In fact, it is basically the gist of the argument: Draisaitl is getting paid for (mostly) past performance.
And that is a very different sentiment than the drivel that is coming out of Edmonton, claiming that it is a discount, and a 'testament to the special culture', etc.
