He is 2 million overpaid because he wasn't going to take more than 4 million less than McDavid.
He is a 6.5 mill player being paid more due to the apparent "budget friendly" contract McDavid signed. If McDavid wanted to be here there is no reason we couldn't of signed him for 10-11 mill. Period. Instead we overpaid him so we had to overpay Drai too.
Lol. No. Absolutely not. You don't get arguably the most talented hockey player on planet earth for less than we got him for. I can't believe you actually think at his price point he's overpaid.
Draisaitl, sure he's overpaid, and I called it before the contract was even signed on here and got eaten alive for it. But Mcdavid at that price is an absolute bargain. Prices are driven by the market. Mcdavid gets to RFA status next year and there is 30 teams lined up to give him the league max. He took much less than that.
If Edmonton starts playing at a semi-decent level he could win his second Art Ross trophy before he is even 22 years old. I don't know people think he should be doing the team a favor. Crosby took the same percentage on his 2nd deal and they won a cup. It's up to Edmonton's management to build a winning team now, and it's been proven it can be done.
