I like the deal for the team and the player.
The 4th year could hurt them but overall a good value.
It's official. 4 years at $3.2M per. A little less than was rumored, but double what they should've spent on term and dollars. Chalk another one up for the home town tax.

Thank goodness it's not the Abdelkader contract!
Cap hit is fine, term is concerning

What was Kassian going to say if he was offered $3.2M x 2 years?!?! No? LOL. This contract is twice as long as it needed to be.

They should have given him 4x4 !!!

He's looked good, but the Oilers giving a contract to a career yr player is nothing new.
I don't like it. But if he walked to FA he would have gotten this somewhere in terms of dollars, but I can't say someone would give him 4yrs. He's 29, like seriously...4yrs? On a career yr from a 29yr old?

How many players in their contract year have career years? A LOT! How many get paid for it? Most of them. It could have been a lot worse. You talk as if the Oilers are the only team who pay players having a career year in their contract year. It happens everywhere; not just in Edmonton.

It's more like it seems to work out bad for them a lot more than it works out for them.
---EDIT---
I looked up their last 4yrs of signings that were 1-way, 1.5mill+ and a standard contract. Not as bad as I thought, but nothing really hit the last 2yrs:
Recently signing:
2019
Kassian – 12.3/4yr
Chiasson – 4.3/2yr
Koskinen – 13.5/3yr
Nurse – 6.4/2yr
2018
R.Strome – 6.2/2yr
Benning – 3.8/2yr
Caggiula – 3/2yr
2017
Draisaitl – 68/8yr
McDavid – 100/8yr
Kassian – 5.85/3yr
Russell – 16/4yr
2016
Lucic – 42/7yr
Talbot – 12.5/3yr

The salary breakdown makes the term on the contract a little more palatable:
Y1 = 2.5M + 1M bonus
Y2 = 2.5M + 1M bonus
Y3 = 3.5M
Y4 = 2.3M
If it goes south as I think we all suspect it could that fourth year is really easy to buyout or salary dump elsewhere.
It's nowhere near as bad as some are making it out. For all we know there's a really positive dynamic he brings to the locker room, look at how he handled the tkatchuk incident. Players like that stuff.
Name an Oiler fan that doesn't like having a guy like Kassian on the ice when mcdavid is out there. Keeps the other team somewhat in line.
Sure the 4th year could be regrettable but it's a pretty easy buyout if necessary.
To me the real risk is more Kassian staying in line off the ice. He seems to have turned a corner and let's hope it continues for 4 more years, and beyond for him. He's a great story and glad he's still in the league. Happy to have him on my fav team. Nowhere near as bad as the Lucic deal even if he ends up being as bad as Lucic was.
