League min was I think 750K this past season. I assume with the cap going up a little, the min probably bumps up slightly to edge closer to 800K. So Ryan at 900K which will probably be just over 100 grand more than league min took a 350K salary cut to resign. Now I assume the second year on the deal is the carrot to get that AAV to barely above league min for a guy that scored you 13 goals in regular season, another one in the playoffs, plays a little on the PK, can win you a draw from the right side and does all that without complaining in pretty limited minutes. Just my opinion but if you are complaining about the second year of a contract that pays a pretty useful player barely above league min, a contract that can be fully buried in the minors in that second year if you have too, then I think you are the type of person that is just dying to complain about something.
I probably would prefer a 1 yr but if giving the guy a second year drops that AAV for the Oilers who need every dollar they can get in savings, I am struggling to see a risk here.
