Confirmed with Link: Kassian Signs - 4 Years, 3.2M Per

[Oil rise to the top]

I like it. Anyone who doesn’t is silly! Now let’s celebrate by the eating of some Dairy Queen

yeah, keep eating that Dairy Queen

2 years later this contract was still terrible as some of us saw it back then.

Where's the kool aid drinkers to defend this contract?

I did have a mushroom Swiss burger it was amazing

 

[redgrant]

I remember when the spin was that Kassian "needed fans in seats" to play his best.

Well thats officially ended the nonsense after this last home stand.

 

[SwedishFire]

Two years left. I bet having a family makws Kassian playing a bit easier, wants to be dad.

But yes, if something is on the table - make that trade.

Although their Mushroom Swiss is a bit over salted, it's good and under rated

unlike that Kassian contract

Zach Katzian.

Somehow it all makes sense now.

I've decoded the Oilers universe.

Just rearrange some letters, win secret prizes.

Lmao well said.

 

[LTIR]

Still think that the 500K per and 1 year too much was the right initial prediction by Cloned.
He would've easily gotten 2.5M+ x 3 in open market
Let's see how the other Holland signings come back to haunt us. Expecting 2 or 3 worse ones than this

It's hit and miss for me on the salty side. I love it when it isn't salty, but still like it when it is.

I guess it depends on how much of that Mushroom sauce they're putting on. I guess I shouldnt be complaining about the saltiness considering I ask for extra of that stuff on my burger. IMO, DQ's still is better than Fatburger's version of the Mushroom Swiss

I was looking forward to making fun of tardigrade81's taste in DQ food but Unfortunately, he picked the one thing on the menu that is actually good. I digress

Why do you care how much players make?

 

[Oil rise to the top]

Why do you care how much players make?

Seriously?

Because it counts against our cap and being near the cap prohibits our ability to sign players and trade for players

 

[nturn06]

I think that 3.2 mils per 4 years is fair... 3.2 mils in total for 4 years.

I was told by Ken Holland this guy was protected b/c he was drawing trade interest from other teams. Whatever the hell happened to that rumored Kassian for Jarry trade? Would really like a Jarry right now.

Jarry? Jarry who? Tristan Jarry? when was this rumor circulating? Actually not sure if I even want to know, Holland is encroaching Chia level bad.

Rumors were that Oilers were in talks to trade Kassian for an Eastern goalie (Jarry and Georgiev were allegedly the targets) but a week later we ended up with f***ing Smith+Koskinen again.

That's brutal. Imagine almost acquiring Tristan Jarry for Kassian, defeat from the jaws of victory again.

Oh well. Would be nice if Holland could trick San Jose to take him for Evander Kane.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

So not even halfway through this contract and we're thinking about a possible buyout because Kassian looks absolutely done as an NHL player. Maybe he's hurt or there's something going on behind the scenes, but being demoted and even scratched hasn't woken him up.

Don't. Sign. Depth. Players. To. Term.

 

[Raekwon]

If Ken can't move him this summer, a buyout is a must. Imagine keeping him on the roster and potentially losing a player like yam/pulj/etc

[yakcity1064]

Definitely moveable, maybe with a sweetener. Theres value around the league in toughness and despite what we see now, the guy has a reputation and someone would take a shot at him for free. I'd put foegele in the same category of dead weight that should be cap casualty. 3M a year 4th liner that isn't tough, doesn't play on either special team. Have lots of young cheap wing prospects coming up, and some important pieces to hold on to this summer. 91, 13, 56, 71 > 44 + 37 .

If you were coming here to shit on him, that's okay, so are we. Join the club.

 

[Chet Manley]

Those 2 suspensions around the time of this signing really seemed to cause him to nose dive as a player. Or maybe those suspensions were just the tip of an iceberg. Or the contract itself triggered the downturn. Hard to tell what flipped the switch.

 

[bobbythebrain]

Has he had one standout game since the signing? He is beyond useless out there
