He could have one more run with the Oilers this year, and sign a new contract with a new organization at the end of the season, when the Oilers are poised to take another step back.

You’re right. Meant to calculate for the extra year on his deal. guessing they are a non-playoff team 3 season from now at the latest. But it could be as early as this season with the moves they have made so far. They were barely a playoff team this year.
