Report: Pastrnak using Draisaitl as comparison in extension talks

David Pastrnak has his eye on a particular price point.

The winger and his representatives are using Edmonton's Leon Draisaitl as a comparison in contract extension talks with the Boston Bruins, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

The Oilers, who drafted Draisaitl third overall in 2014, recently gave the young forward an eight-year deal worth $68 million, or $8.5 million per season. Per a recent report, Boston offered Pastrnak a deal worth $6 million.

Based on last season's numbers, Pastrnak's ask is not out of line.

There's a disparity in games played, but the end result is Draisaitl averaged 0.94 points per game as compared to 0.93 for Pastrnak.

With training camp set to start next week, the Bruins and Pastrnak are running out of time to find common ground in time for the preseason.
