As an Oilers fan, I'd be okay with anything up to 3.5 million. I think he's legitimately gotten better this season, and he's shown he can play with McDavid and Drai better than anyone has before. He's stronger on the puck than he used to be, he's thinking the game at a faster pace, he's playing like an actual top 6 forward and creating offence, not like Maroon (who I loved) who definitely just reaped the benefits of playing with McDavid and Drai.

Fighting with this, he brings a lot to the team, he is what a bunch of other playoff teams are lacking. Toronto, Tampa and Calgary. We will see if we manke the playoffs again on what he brings as well. not so replaceable to me. Also he works well adn protects McDavid, brings energy ect....... Good playoffs for him will be an increase yet again. $ max for me, contract have gone way up the past 2 years..... IMO

Tough to find a decent comparable, he's never topped 30 points but sure is valuable to the team and is producing decent numbers. Would want to wait how season goes but I would say 2.75-3.5ish, max 4 years?

Even if he keeps up his pace, I can't see him getting more than $10M over 3 years. He'll be 29 in the offseason. Theres absolutely no secret that his numbers are mainly due to playing with 97 and 29, but he definitely has skill and speed of his own.
Look at the last 2 seasons. Maroon and Chaisson both had great years, but its pretty well known across the league that the odds they replicate their production on a new team weren't that great. Thus, neither were heavily pursued in free agency.
The other day Ryan Rishaug was suggesting between ferland ($3.5M) and WIlson ($5M+) and to me that just absurd. Kassian is a complimentary player, fan favourites who realistically is a 3rd line player.
Im not trying to take away from Kassian, as he is playing incredible and is a really great player, but he has a perfect situation for himself in Edmonton. He likes playing here and seems to be good buddies with the core of the team.

If he wants anything more than 3 years around $3M I let him walk without hesitation. Even giving him 3 years I am a little reluctant, but if we make the playoffs and he puts together another great performance, I say he would have earned the extra year.

Kassians blend of skill, speed and toughness is pretty difficult to replace, but with lots of young guy upcoming, It can be done.

Ultimately, if you offered him 2.5-3.3 years and the chance to play alongside 97 for the next couple of years, I have a really hard time believing he would turn that down.

I think 2x2. Sure he is putting up good numbers but he is playing with McDavid and Draisaitl. Remember last year Chaisson put up career numbers also playing with them. Basically 97 and 29 helped Chaisson and Kass hit career highs. Chaisson went from a PTO to a big payday, no need to go crazy with Kass either

If anything don't sign Kass and move him while he has the inflated playing with McDavid and Leon value

Well that makes no sense at all. Hes scoring at a good rate compared to his contract, hes a fan favourite and adds toughness to the top 6. Oilers are contenders for a playoff spot. Why are removing arguably our 4th best forward?
Also, just like you mentioned, he has inflated value playing with 97 and 29. Don't you think that literally every single GM in the league recognized that? A guy whos never cracked 30 points on pace for 60? Also how did trading Maroon go when his value was inflated. We got a 3rd rounder.
