No retention and no sweetener is a win, because Jesse was NEVER going to be what he wanted to be here or what the team wanted him to be.
And no defensive forward is going to have the same impact as an addition on D. Now go get Chych, Ekholm or EK.

I agree with this. Getting the full cap space and not having to give up anything is a huge win.
Does it suck he didn't turn out? Absolutely. I think the Oilers mishandled his development early on but when you are pushing 25, have play almost 6 yrs in the NHL plus another year in Finland post draft. The fact you haven't developed like you should is on you. Maybe being on a new team with his buddy Aho will motivate him to seek a skills coach.
Good luck to him.

JP and his agent(s) also had a hand in messing up this situation too, refusing to go to the minors where he could have developed faster, and also contract holdouts. It was a miracle that Holland was able to mend those bridges and even get him back to playing with the team.

I don't know for sure if the not wanting to go to the minors is true. I have heard it but who knows if it's true. But what I believe is JP's fault is his development. Most of the development happens in the offseason. A team will suggest what things he needs to work on but no one is following the guy around day to day. He has to do it. The lack of improvement pucks skills wise says to me he's not doing what he needed to do to improve. That's on him. I have said it before. If McD works with a skills coach, no excuse why JP shouldn't have been.
