I'm assuming that Kisio didn't get any good offers for Plante. Considering the weak year he had last year on top of a potential attitude issue, I can't see why anyone would offer anything more than a late draft pick.
So, Plante was probably informed that no one was offering anything reasonable and someone clued him in that sitting out the year wouldn't be a good move for him. I would think that the Oilers would be quite clear with him that if he didn't report to the Hitmen, that he was risking not getting a contract offer this year.
