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.
It's not like the Oilers offered him $100M out of the blue. That was a negotiated amount. He doesn't get to say - "Hey, I just signed what they offered." He should be held accountable given he's handicapped the team and frankly the league with that monster contract.
