The money is okay but the term is way too long. I don't think he's going to be a $5 million player in the back half of the contract but I imagine the Oilers are banking on the salary cap rising a lot over the term. He's become more of a powerplay specialist than 5 on 5 scorer and I'm not sure why they would want to lock him up for that long. The NMC is also a big negative.
