TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button joins SC with Jay Onrait to share why he believes Leon Draisaitl’s new eight-year extension with the Oilers is a win for both sides, and what it might mean for Connor McDavid’s future in Edmonton.

He’s not a kid lol the guys 27 yrs old he’s a man.
IM SO FUCKING PUMPED. LFG OILERS.
How is this not an over payment?
They are building a core four like Toronto and will suffer the same consequences.
Win for 1 side …….
Draisaitl deserves every cent… dude broke his back carrying edmonton while McDavid got all the credit
Mcdavid is worth way more money as he was the one doing the work in the Stanley cup finals while draistsailte didn’t do much but I get it
I hope Button holds out all year…
Its really too bad they couldnt win a cup in the last 3 seasons, but man they had to dig out from the dumpster fire Chia left them in.
Where's Chia now? Oh look, hes in St Louis! 😂😂😂😂
Gonna be well worth it when the Oilers win the cup this season!
I hope Edmonton enjoyed that fluke playoff run last year. Will be the closest they get to a cup anytime soon with these horrible contracts they keep giving out.
This is it, I can feel it
Top 5 player in the league?
IMO, definitely top 3
Awesome. Awesome. Interview. All positive
This contract will age like bread, just like Leon.
32% of salary cap will be for McDavid and Draisatl. That's insane. They putting all their eggs in one basket. But Button is the king of bad takes…
Draisatal is crap 14 mill to stand there and take passes to the same spot and one time it in otherwise hes so lazy
The only ones who can’t wrap their brain around this contract is Leaf fans🤷♂️
It’s great he stays and good for him, but who pays really? What will it cost for a guy taking his kids to a game?
Did he sign for gold or fake dollars? That is not a win win.
On point analyzed! The cap will grow and 70 mio should be really enough for good young prospects and older Routiniers. And Leon is the type of player who will also perform very well in his "best" ages!
