He's BACK!!

He's a foundation piece.. a main ingredient.. great place to start adding complimentary pieces from here.

Decent cap number, good term.

His term and cap are well suited for the expected increase in NHL cap by year 3.

His cap will also serve as a good reference point for any potential UFA's to compare to.. eg. relative to Kane.. a guy like Marchment should expect to get no more than 1.75 from the Oilers.. UFA's will know how their ask price relates to the Oil salary scale.. and eliminate pointless posturing.

Kane's going to have the summer to get in even better shape, go through training camp.. and start the season at 100%, unlike last season.. looking forward to what a full season with Kane and McDavid is going to bring!

Great way to start off the UFA season!

Evander Kane@evanderkane_9 I’m back. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------------------------- I'm pleased to announce | will be staying with the Edmonton Oilers for the next 4 seasons (5.125 AAV). Throughout the last 12 months there have been lots of road blocks, tons of adversity and many tough days. I'm grateful for the tremendous amount of support from family, friends, teammates and others who have helped me stay strong through those difficult times. | want to thank the Edmonton Oilers for giving me an opportunity to REMIND people who | am as a player and a person. | also want to thank my girlfriend Mara, she has been my rock through these past 12 months and I'm grateful to have her by my side. A big part of my decision to stay in Edmonton was because of the opportunity given to me only 7 months ago but also the chance to be a part of a championship team. | want to win, and | believe after signing this deal we will be able to add the right pieces along with myself to accomplish that goal, a championship. See you in the fall,
