You have it backwards sir. Draisaitl is the one who can be extended this offseason. McDavid cannot. That means a sign & trade is likely to bring back a monster return.
McDavid on the other hand. Look he's the best player in the league, I get that, but teams cannot give up this return for 2 years of team control. They need a long term agreement. If a GM gave this kind of return and then McDavid walks in 2 years, they are totally done. Not just fired, never employed again.
Its too much risk.
