Its easy to score in Junior if you have an overwhelming physical advantage and JP did. He got to the NHL and basically they said now you have to think about how you play the game and we saw smoke come out of JP's ears and the sound of the millenium falcons hyper drive failing echo'd through the arena.
It doesn't help that he came across as entitled.
I think the Oilers didn't help him, but I think that he is limited in what he can do.

Fair enough, which is also why I hate dangly highlight clips out of junior. They don't really show much about skill that will work in the NHL. Show me speed, a great shot, good positioning. Don't show me a guy weaving his way through a bunch of poor defenders.
