It doesn't sound like you're fine with it.

I really am. If he doesn't want to play in Edmonton anymore that's his decision. As long as he makes that clear to the team and allows them to trade him then I have no issue with it. If it's handled correctly (big IF) it could be a good thing. The Oilers with 29 as 1C and a decent package for 97 with a tone of cap space aren't necessarily a lost cause.
I do think the circus he is creating right now is either misguided or selfish or both and I think it's delusional of him if he honestly thinks this isn't going to affect the team.
And yes if he leaves to go cup chasing it will damage his legacy. But that's up to him.
Either way he needs to make a decision in the next few weeks. This "taking my time" line is completely ridiculous. He has all the information he needs and there is never going to be a crystal ball that he can look into and have a guarantee from any team. If he wants to stay sign an extension. If not let the team know and leave. Pretty simple 
|
Hypothetically, he would be doing a disservice to his new team and dampening their chances to win if he had them send the Oilers assets to acquire him. The hard truth is if winning is important to him, and he believes he has a better chance to do that elsewhere, it would serve him and his new team best to just wait until the season is through and sign there with no other key pieces going back the other way.
|
Yep you're right. Which is why it's incumbent on the team to read the room and do the hard thing. If he hasn't signed a contract by the beginning of the year then he isn't going to. So they have to convince him to accept a trade and that might mean making things unpleasant for him in Edmonton.
