The pressure he is under and the fact the ####show really has little to do with him and because he signed a deal that was offered to him...well its gotta be soul sucking at times.
I think I would have got out ASAP. I wouldn't care if the whole hockey world thought I was a whiny, disloyal, entitled, little punk, I would do everything in my power to be out as soon as I saw that lottery ball. The Oilers were a disaster long before he got there. No one who matters would have blamed him for pulling a Lindros.
