So, maybe the reason that it took a year and a half to get Puljujarvi an English tutor is that no one had actually had a conversation with him until then?
No one should be surprised to hear this now. That's several players who've said the same thing. It's not very common for NHL players to slag former organizations - and yet it happens to the Oilers over and over. If that doesn't convince you that the team's culture is horrendous, I don't know what will.
We can only hope that McLellan is closing in on the end of his rope here.

But will that change anything?
I want Katz to wake up one day and say GTFO to the whole group. I don’t know if that will fix things, but the roster has been turned over 10 times, coaches changed 5 or 6 times, some 1st overall picks and a generational superstar, and STILL the results don’t come. Everything else has changed, except that. What’s the worst that could happen? We lose games and miss the playoffs? Oh the horror

It should be clear to everyone that the whole organization is rotten at its core, and the only way out is to completely clean house on the management. However, Katz is not everyone, and I think his relationship with his old hockey heroes from the 1980s is more important to him than success on the ice with the team now...especially since they still sell tickets and make money. The entertainment group gets concert revenue too, so he can still happily raise banners for important events like a bunch of Garth Brooks concerts! Maybe Mess and Gretz will even go with him to a couple of those shows!!!
Anyhow, it's unlikely the team will do what should be done, so we may have to settle for them making a less radical change. I think that there's clearly coaching issues with McLellan. He cost the Sharks their window to win, and he's set on doing that here in Edmonton too...he's got to go. Hopefully Chia goes with him, but I would bet on the Oilers changing the coach first...and most likely hiring one of the assistants, instead of spending big money luring Quenneville in...
