I just want to beat a dead horse here for a minute: Is Kassian the luckiest player in the league? How many other players signed/will sign a deal in 2020 that is in such excess of market value for price and term? I'm thinking he has to be the only one. Why? Because for some dumb reason we feel the need to do contract extensions on mediocre players way before the season is over. Better lock this guy up, he'll be a hot commodity July 1!

Obviously hindsight is 2020 (lol) on the flat cap situation, but I hope the Oilers learned their lesson on these stupid early extensions. A lot else could have changed from Jan-June, such as injuries, stark decline in productivity, market changes etc.

I was predicting we'd regret the deal in 1.5 years, but I was way off.

We haven’t bought anybody out in over a calendar year. Might be time to hop back in that saddle

That would make the collar around Ken Holland's neck even tighter. With the salary cap likely to stay flat for the next few years, a Kassian buyout would put a serious dent in Holland's budget flexibility. and wouldn't give the Oilers all that much more wriggle room.

Katz must be thrilled with the way his GM's burn money. Or maybe he is making so much money from his movie company that he isn't worried about that.

I dunno - losing your face probably hurts your ability to convince starlets to be your piece on the side...

Someone on twitter was pointing out the trades by Holland and what we have left from them:

Out
Milan Lucic
John Marino
Kyle Brodziak
Sam Gagner
2020 2nd rd pick
2021 2nd rd pick
2021 3rd rd pick
2020 4th rd pick
2021 5th rd pick

In
James Neal
~~Angus Redmond~~ - likely won't be qualified
~~Tyler Ennis~~ - UFA
~~Mike Green~~ - UFA/retired
~~Andreas Athanasiou~~ - won't be qualified
~~Ryan Kuffner~~ - likely won't be qualified
2021 6th rd pick
2022 conditional 7th rd pick (Persson needs to play 25 NHL games in 2020-21 season to get the pick)

Some of that is because we rolled the dice on this year's playoffs, and it takes some investment to get rentals, but man...that's not looking great on Ken Holland so far - and the Athanasiou one is the biggest problem. They paid extra to get a guy who was still under control, in part because Holland had a lot of comfort with him having had him in Detroit. It's crazy that we've given all that up after such a short stint with the team.
