2 mil a year seems fair. Bit of a mutual gamble for a 1 way deal @ 2 mil a year for a guy with one full season. He's bad in his own end but moves the puck well at times.
His underlying numbers look bad (know everybody loves corsi lol) but the oilers have zero d depth so they need him to play minutes. Expect Bouchard will be thrown in there soon and be Tom Poti-ing it up too with 35 points and a minus 20 every season before you know it.
If bear's game rounds out maybe oilers end up happy here but could also see him sinking badly with klefblom gone and some of their guys getting exposed playing harder minutes against better offensive players.
