In terms of McDavid and Draisaitl everything you said here is true.
- McDavid likely inflates Drai by 15-20 points
- McDavid and 1st time PP time probably can get anyone 90+ points
- And depending on the trade market there probably was a deal that would make them a better "team"
But the one thing that is being missed is that re-signing Drai is what they felt gave them the best opportunity to re-sign McDavid.
And in the end that's the goal. Jackson, Knoblauch, Drai...everything that team does is with the end goal of keeping 97.

Oh I wasn't saying specifically you...you know who was suggesting it was so likely when it is incredibly unlikely
just wanted to make the point that Wayne was FAR superior at 28 and didn't even do it
And yeah we will see if McDavid re-signs and for how much, if he doesn't this deal becomes a real disaster
