Can AA be motivated?
I would have thought going from an almost historically bad team in Detroit to the at the time 1st/2nd place Oilers with the chance to play with one of McD or Drai, 2 centers who are top 10 in the league would have been motivation for him. But it wasn't. Then I thought the chance to come back with the Oilers and again probably play with one of McD or Leon would have been a motivation for him to. But it wasn't. He turned down what now appears to be an extremely more than fair contract all so he could go to market during maybe the worst market conditions the league has seen maybe ever.
So I have my doubts this guy can be motivated much. I don't know if McLellan is the type of coach to get it out of him.

You can't get upset at players for making bets on themselves. He and his representatives thought that they could get more on the open market than they were being offered by the Oilers. They bet wrong and he's paying a price for that.
I think he made a second mistake choosing Los Angeles, because he's playing for a passive aggressive coach who makes up his mind quickly about players and then won't change it. His reputation alone probably has sunk him with the Kings before he plays his first shift there.
We'll see though!
For what it's worth, we've benefitted from a couple of others who made the same unfortunate bet - I'll wager that Kahun thought he'd be getting paid a lot more than he currently is after his last season in Buffalo.
