Draisaitl is expected to sign an eight-year contracts extension soon, while McDavid's deal is also in the works. Reports suggest their combined annual salaries could be under $30 million, a potential bargain for two of the NHL's top talents. These contracts might surpass Auston Matthews' $13.25 million per year, making McDavid and Draisaitl the highest-paid players in the league.
Their commitment could lead the Oilers to a new golden era, with multiple Stanley Cup victories potentially on the horizon.
