Haha, great post. The oilers fans are torn. Who to blame? Crap management or the NHL for letting it happen.

Maybe they should wait for approval of the contract before releasing the news to the media/public.

Since this same situation has happened recently there shouldn't e any excuses for it. The outcome is the same as the ROR fiasco, ie it really doesn't affect the organization in the end.

This case it sucks for the player but who knows, maybe he just needed an audition to showcase his skills better in North America. Watch him rip it up this season in the Q and get drafted before the oiler can take him.
