Think they would have been better off trading him. Seems like another Pisani or Horcoff deal to me, guy has one decent stretch over a small sample size and the Oilers back up the brinks truck to his house.
In all the years of watching him he has never been a difference maker on the ice, to me he's a second or third tier scorer who isn't great in his own zone and gets pushed around. The only time I remember him in the 40+ games against the flames he's played is his lame fight against a 40 year old Craig Conroy.
