Zack Kassian has agreed to terms with the Edmonton Oilers on a three-year deal.

The contract is worth a reported $5.85 million, according to Bob McKenzie of TSN. That works out to a salary cap hit of $1.95 million through to the end of 2019-20.

Kassian was set to become a restricted free agent, and earned a measure of job security after registering seven goals and 17 assists in 79 games last season, while playing on a one-year deal worth $1.5 million.

He also chipped in three goals in 13 playoff games.

Kassian came to Edmonton via Montreal after the Canadiens dealt him upon being reinstated from suspension and a stint in the NHL's substance abuse program. He was originally drafted 13th overall by Buffalo in 2009.
