Any UFA signing with the Oilers are going to be overpaid. No surprises there.
Leaving the no goodness aside, Edmonton isn't the most enticing location to live for NHL'ers. It's Edmonton.
Bringing the no goodness back into it, the Oilers are career killers. The franchise chases countless players out of the organization, whether it be through FA or bolting to the KHL, annually. It's Edmonton.
Good luck Nikitin.
