If I'm not mistaken, the compensation for a $7.5m contract is higher than that...at least, it was last year (two 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd).
That being said, I wouldn't have any problem giving that away for Draisaitl, given our recent draft history. If we can't develop those picks into good NHLers, then might as well trade them for one. Not sure if I like him enough to offer $7.5m though...and I surely wouldn't sign Kovalchuk, as this would leave the Habs with no room for Pacioretty and Price's contract extension, the following two years.
