Obviously I am not hoping anyone is hurt, but if McDavid goes down, or they have to shake up lines and Drai is on a line with any two other guys I don't think he is an 8.5 mill player. He is an absolute stud, but at 8.5 million there will surely be a few years out of the 8 that the contract is looking pretty bad.

8.5 for a top-line center who can dominate with the second-line is worth it. 8.5 for a winger for the best player in the world, who could turn Nail Yakupov and Benoit Pouliot into top level scorers, is far too much.
