But it's not any kind of hometown discount. Not even a single $ worth. I even speculated a few weeks ago that a discount would be a total of $111, so aav was under 14, but the Oilers didn't even get that. That is what you have to pay, whether actually worth it of not. Where Rishaug is a moron is say he left half a million on the table.

Not quite right.
Draisaitl has been statistically the 2nd best scoring forward in the league for the last NINE seasons or since McDavid came in the league (although 4th in pts/game - that goes McDavid, Kucherov, Mackinnon then Draisaitl).
McDavid - 982
Draisaitl - 841
Mackinnon - 798
Kucherov - 790
Panarin - 781
Crosby - 743
Kane - 727
Marchand - 701
Pastrnak - 700
Gaudreau - 678
Ovechkin - 655
Barkov - 651
Matthews - 649
