I think Draisaitl should net a lot more than this, but I also don’t think Anaheim could afford another $8+ million contract to their cap.
This deal puts Anaheim over $80 million with about 8 more players to sign (I assumed $5.5 million AAV for Silferberg).
I also don’t see much if any improvement with the Oilers roster. That bottom six does not look good at all.
Demers is gone for the season and will take close to another year to get back to form, if he does at all. We’ve already gone thru that with Sekera, not a good situation for a team that struggles on D.
