Oilers twitter saying Jesse has been placed on Injured Reserve!!!??? Hahaha what? From 4th line role, to healthy scratch to IR. No reports anywhere that he had been dealing with any kind of injury.
Wild.

I assume they have diagnosed a serious character deficiency.
|
More likely a bruised ego.
But seriously, this looks like a must trade situation. His value is dropping rapidly, the rest of the league knows there are issues here, he's been completely mishandled and his agent wants him on the ice or on another team. I can't figure out how the Oilers can manage this asset successfully at this point. Trading a first rounder 20 year old for a third rounder or third liner would just be more crap in the frying pan for the OBC.

Nope.
This is the exact worst time to move him. It looks desperate, and you have a GM with training wheels on. The agent has just made a powerplay and the whole league knows that the player would like a new start...and that the team is a laughingstock known for giving away assets for nothing.
The normal Oilers course of action here is to start questioning the player's desire and work ethic publicly through their friendly media guys - no official quotes of course, but lots of shade cast...just so that they soften up the fanbase for the impending deal. It does tend to also soften the trade market, but you have to try to keep them mad at someone else, so a little character assassination is par for the course.
What they SHOULD be doing, of course, is praising the player - saying that the team is committed to him, that they think he's moved in the right direction despite any signs to the contrary this year and that they expect him to be a big part of the answer here - if fact, they're counting on it.
Maybe you trade him in a year, but at this point, with what's happened the last month you're not getting full value, so rehabilitate the player. Then if he rebounds the team can either trade him for something good, or actually have a usable piece. If he flops? Well, the Oilers won't get a lot less for him in a year than they'd get for him now...

Basically you need Hitch’s original message of needing Jesse with the club if they are going to have success. Problem is, Hitch doesn’t state this anymore and he’s reportedly been muzzled by management.
Another problem is that when given the opportunity to play with Nuge, Jesse makes one mistake in either zone and he’s auto stapled to Brodziak or Cave’s wing for the remainder of the game and at least the next 2 games. .
They don’t use the skill set of the player. They rarely ever have. Over the last couple days there’s been lots of chatter about trying Gagner on PP1 because they sorely lack a right shot. While I agree on needing a right shot on that unit, why has Jesse not been given a crack at it?
IMO they see him as a big body and seem to want to make him into a checking winger. While I get that they’ve wanted to teach him how to play a full game, they’ve taken away from the player using his strengths.
