Anyone who thinks this team is improved, is crazy.

I suppose there are a few things that are true about this situation:
- this team is older and not at all better than last year’s team
- there really is no way Edmonton could not have signed Draisaitl from a PR or McDavid standpoint
- this signing will look just fine for a couple of years
- it’s probably a fair contract that pretty much equals what he would have gotten in free agency (14x8=16x7)
- they probably should have deferred 104M to year 9
