I was expecting a QO which would've been half that. Might be worth the extra year but that's up to Drake.

It is a good signing. 1.5 is cheap.
We all know Tmac loves putting Drake in the top 6 sometimes lol
If he manages to actually become a top 6 players then it is a steal.

Nothing more than a 4th liner on a competitive team IMO. Too streaky and inconsistent to be a top9 guy.

Always looked like he was either trying to do too much or wasn't doing enough in my views of him. Not really a ton of talent. Liked his motor though.

If he manages to crack 15 goals and/or 30 pts either of those years that would be good value for the Oilers. Even if he's close to that it's not bad. If he ends up being a sub 20 pt player, well more of a nothing ventured nothing gained kind of situation but I'd think you'd rather have an ELC with a bit more upside in his spot.

Caggiula was obviously the passenger on that line. Oilers have done lots of things wrong but this isn't one of them.

I don't he was the "passenger" I think he was the driver. He was just like 22 and they were 19 so they had a lot more room to grow.
