I'm not morally offended what so ever. I am not a Tippet lover and think he can do no wrong. I don't know him personally or give a crap if it's him or someone else coaching. All I care about is the Oilers winning games. So if Tippett can do that, great. If it's someone else, great. Just win the damn games. But in staying that, I just don't get why it's always someone elses fault. He's played 2 years of college and going into his 6th year of pro hockey. The Oilers defense is not loaded with Norris candidates, future hall of famers or all stars. He made the team last year when there wasn't a hell of a lot of competition and then stunk. This year there was a spot for him especially since Russell was hurt so the only guy ahead of him was Koekkoek and again he stunk. He went to the AHL and by every report, he wasn't very good but he got the call because he had experience. For the majority of his games he's played year and this year, he hasn't been very good. Having the occasional decent game isn't enough to be considered an NHLer.
He's going to be 26 yrs old in a coupe of months. He's a grown ass man. The fact that Lagesson isn't a full time NHL player at 26 with that much time in the pros in North America on top of it, has nothing to do with the Head Coach letting the defensive assistant do his job to tell him he wasn't playing. He's not a full time NHLer because he's not good enough. At 26 yrs old with parts of 6 pro seasons under his belt, most of which is playing in North America, the fact he isn't a full time NHLer is 100% all on him.
If you want to die on the mountain telling me why Tippett not personally taking him aside and explaining to a going to be 26 yr old grown ass man why he's not in the line up and it ruined a player, then go ahead. But I am done wasting my time talking about why Lagesson who in my opinion will probably be in Sweden for the 22-23 season doesn't get special treatment.

Big deep sigh.
Absolutely zero people are saying that Lagesson is blameless and a superstar.
All anyone (mostly me) has said is that Allan Walsh has an objective with that statement. It isn't a temper tantrum, it isn't a hissy fit. It's a calculated move, designed to create a specific result - likely the eventual move of his client to another team.
Worth noting - while he was certainly aware of what Walsh said and fine with it being said, Lagesson himself actually said nothing so if you're focusing your ire at him, then your aim is off.
It does come off like people are upset when they blow a gasket calling the kid (who's still an Oiler player) everything up to a full-on waste of skin (not your words - but there's lots of people like you saying a lot of mean things about the kid online), simply because his agent dares to criticize a coach (especially a coach who really deserves a lot of criticism). I don't remember you talking at any length before this about how much you think Lagesson sucks and shouldn't even get opportunities - so it does look like a spiteful response and not an objective one.
"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
