He doesn't want to come across as a pouty Lindros-esque prima donna, which is what will be talked about if he looks like he's angry and disappointed again. He no doubt wants to put all the speculation behind him as he knows he has no choice but to play in Edmonton other than by doing something that he already said he wouldn't do.
The spin on the reaction is hilarious though, I'll give them that.
April 2015. Shocked and horrified to hear the Oilers have won the lottery and will 100% be drafting him.
June 2015. Smiles and happy to hear the Oilers have drafted him.
But it's just his personality, it's just who he is...
Yeah right, I can see why they didn't want to admit the truth but 'it's his personality' is just a hilarious load of BS. He was clearly devastated to hear the news when it happened, nothing that comes after will convince me otherwise. It was plainly obvious for all to see.

I think your the one trying to spin it a certain way.
