"At no point, however, did anyone promise him a roster spot, or any sort of ice time.
“It was never about anyone guaranteeing me a spot, that’s not who I am,” he said. “I want to earn my spot. Edmonton was really clear about that. They said I had to earn my spot on the team. I don’t want to be portrayed as someone who was looking for a guaranteed spot, that’s not me.”
They’re not giving him the job, they’re expecting him to take it." |
It's cute that you actually believe that.
No, really. I'm sure he chose the Oil for Edmonton's rich, vibrant culture and the team's proven track record of success.
