I truly feel horrible for the kid. He doesn't want this.

Those are some strong words!!
I think that there could be worse places to play, like Florida or Buffalo. If I was a young player coming into the league I would rather play for a team like Edmonton (ie Canadian) then a team nobody really cares about. Even if most of the attention is negative at this point.
We will see how he pans out.
