They will pay him veteran's minimum for 5 years, with every player in the league not named "Tkachuk" also sending him 10 grand each to make sure his kids are taken care of.

Seriously though, how do you pay him $6m a year and not worry that's James Neal in Calgary territory?

Anything more than 4 years and 3.5 million and it’s a bad deal
I don't think the Oilers will get him for that with the year that he's having now. He's on pace to score 25+ goals and 50+ pts. Plus he provides the grit that so many teams desire.

6x6 is a joke Flames fans have beaten into the ground because the Oilers gave similar contracts to Hall, Eberle, and RNH a billion years ago.
It was terrible a billion years ago.... not so bad in the current contract climate... particularly for a pending UFA.

He plays well with Mcdavid. Away from him he’s a good 4th liner and everyone knows that. He isn't going to get paid highly.

Normally I'd agree with you but the Oilers have looked for a long time for a RW that plays well with McDavid. Kassian might very well be their man.

1. Plays well with McDavid (the Oilers have searched a long time for RW that clicks with McDavid)
2. Plays on the #1 line
3. On pace for 25+ goals and 50+ pts
4. Has grit and can fight
5. Is a RH shot
6. Is a pending UFA

Deserves a big raise from the current $1.95M that he's getting now.

He's not. A RW that plays well with McDavid will get 70+ points, not barely possibly get 50.
At ES? All of Kassian’s points are at ES. How many wingers league wide get 70 ES points?
