To me the horrible decision was picking the Oilers out of all the teams that pursued him. Only logical reason would be the promise of top line pairing minutes....?

I think the guy is in it to try to up his personal stats as much as possible so he can get a big payday in a couple of years. I'm guessing he was hoping to rack up the points on a run and gun Oilers offense while getting top D minutes. That way, after his contract his up, he cashes in big time.
