    Default Kassian Extended in Edmonton

    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.

    I like the deal for the team and the player.

    The 4th year could hurt them but overall a good value.

    I dont mind the cap hit but would have been a lot happier with one less year. Could have been a lot worse.

    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.

    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.
    Set roster weekly in H2H (Mon to Sun) - 16 Teams - start 6F, 3D, and 1G per week - Keep 2

    Points: 2 G / 2 A / 1 PPG / 1 PPA / 1 Hat Trick / 1 SHG / 1 SHA / 1 GWG - 3 Goalie Win / 2 Goalie Loss in SO or OT / 5 goalie SO

    Forwards:
    C. McDavid, N. Kucherov, R. O'Reilly, J. Schwartz, J. Toews, J. Huberdeau, T. Toffoli, M. Granlund

    Defense:
    B. Burns, J. Klingberg, R. Josi, J. Slavin

    Goalie:
    J. Binnington

    IR (2 max):
