I kinda think we forget the caliber of a prospect JP was before the Oilers destroyed him. He killed it at every level he played at. I remember watching him at the U-17s, and U-18s, not to mention the fact that he had 17pts in 7 WJC games-he was dominant. Now of course, pro hockey is much different than junior, but this kid had (has) serious talent to go along with size and speed. You can never say what went wrong when a prospect goes wrong, but I just have a feeling that he needs to get away from that team.
