Ridiculous term but the contract is quite reasonable in comparison to Luca Sibisa's. If he hit UFA there would be others offering him 90% of what he got, so as bad as I think it is, it probably isn't that bad.
Fogg, you're going crazy if you're comparing contracts in units of Sbisa.

Imagine going back ~7 years, and signing Madden, Rolston, or Drury to a high-price deal that just expired. That's what ANA did with Kesler.
Like Kesler next year, Madden, Rolston, Drury were all ~32 7 years ago, had similar scoring totals, and were ~10th in Selke voting.
This contract is just batshit crazy. And, as I said, based on the fact that just one year ago Kesler demanded a trade ONLY to Anaheim, so if they offered him 11% more than what others would've offered him in a year, rather than, you know, LESS than what less desirable markets/teams would've offered him if they took advantage of his love of Disneyland, then sure, it'd be better.
They offered him a contract as if they were Buffalo trying to land the guy. And he's going to be a shitty bottom six player three years into the deal.
