Partially the oilers brass’ fault for giving him the captaincy so early. Some player are born leaders and some don’t need the “burden” of being the captain and the best player. You can’t force a square peg into a round hole. He is a gifted player, but probably would have done better under some solid veteran leadership for his first 4/5 years in the NHL.
I don’t really blame the oilers for making him C so early, as it looked like a slam dunk. But that is why I am sitting on my deck drinking beers on Sunday and not the GM of an nhl team.
