i'd take the qoutes with grain of salt, considering the sources...
its in the best interests of agents to pump the numbers of player contracts.
Draistl was considered a massive overpayment at the time of his contract, so using that as a measuring stick is self serving. Is he worth that now? sure if he's a regular 50 goal scorer... But no one expected that at the time of the signing.
that's why i expect a shorter 5 year deal
