| Quote: | Claims by November he was done with Edmonton:
I knew it wasn’t working by November. Not the team … the situation. The promise I’d failed to keep.
I told my agent: “I’m done after this year. Start figuring out how to make it happen.”
From November to June, I played every game knowing I was leaving.

If this is true, I have to say he kept it very well hidden for the longest time. From my recollection, there was never any inkling of discontent for the entire season, and the trade request that was dropped after the SCF, was a complete and utter surprise to everyone including the media.
Maybe I'm misremembering...

Spectorshockey.net has been my go to for hockey rumours since about 2005. I remember reading the day before his request went public that there was a rumour he wanted out, and even Lyle (the owner of the site) thought it was unlikely since the Oilers had just lost the Stanley Cup a few days before. Then the next day it went public and we were all shocked. If there had been some indication during the season, I think there would have been mention of it somewhere.
Maybe Touchstone knew about it.
