I don’t think there is a realistic scenario where Draisaitl returns premium assets (those with serious future star potential).
Short term deals also bring even higher cap hits, spelling a bit of a disaster situation for a team that is already staring at cap hell in the eyes with a seriously old roster with no prospects.
I don’t think the Oilers made the best decision, but I can appreciate as a Flames fan the fact that all they had were options that scaled from bad to worse.
