Edmonton Probleme mit Draisaitls neuem Vertrag ab 2025. Der Vertrag endet 2025.Ein Jahr später endet der Vertrag mit McDavid.
Das wir teuer und ein Problem mit dem Salary Cap.
At the end of this season, the Edmonton Oilers front office will kick into full gear to address one of the franchise's most important decisions in history - the next contract for
Leon Draisaitl. According to a new update from TSN's Ryan Rishaug, Draisaitl's demands have steadily increased through this year.
On a radio hit on OverDrive, Rishaug said that the Oilers need to begin negotiations with Draisaitl immediately to find out if he's willing to sign with the team long-term. If there's even a hint of hesitation with Draisaitl committing to the Oilers, the team will need to consider trading him so they don't lose such a great player for nothing.
Not only will the Oilers have to protect themselves from losing Draisaitl for nothing, his contract demands have steadily increased this season, and the team will have to find a way to make the price manageable. According to Rishaug, Draisaitl could be seeking a salary in the range of $14M, or potentially more.
This also brings into the equation another raise for
Connor McDavid, whose contract will be up the following year. The Oilers need to find a way to make both fit, and they're already strapped for the salary cap.
Now 28 years old and undoubtedly a top 5 player in the league, Draisaitl is currently on the best value contract in the league at $8.5M. Since signing that contract, Draisaitl has gone on to produce 4 seasons with over 100 points, and has consistently been a top scorer in the league every year. Also playing a premium position in Center, Draisaitl is slotted to become one of the highest paid players in the league.

Im Halbfinale warten dann die schwerfälligen Adler aus Mannheim welche sich aktuell durch die Vorrunde rumpeln. Als langjähriger Adlerfan fürchterlich mit anzusehen.
