Damn, I was hoping that was $5.85 per year.

That would be insane but hey, you know, Oilers.

As it stands thats a decent contract.

It's not a bad contract although three years for this type of player is a little on the long side as it was for the Bouma contract.

With cap space becoming an issue soon enough, this is a player they should have let walk

I'm at work and I glanced at the notification and it made it seem like it was 5.85 per and I spit out my water lol.

I was kind of let down that it was 5.85 total but I have faith in them doing something stupid....Russell is making more than Hamonic so I guess I meant more stupid things.

When I saw the tsn headline, I definitely though 5.85/year.

I expected at least mid 2's. This is a steal, I think... Of course, it's three years, so that stability probably caused him to take a mild cut.

nothing wrong with that deal...

if the kid has overcome his past issues, then he is going to be a very good player for the oilers...

Hell of a deal, was hoping he'd sign in that $2.75 - $3mil mistake range that these players often get signed to.

Will be a good deal if Kassian maintains his consistent play.

Consistency has been the issue with Bouma.

Credit where credit is due, I expected him to be a 2.5 player.
