Of course it didn't come from him, it came from his team mates who wanted him out. Is he new to logical reasoning.
If I'm a team mate on Edmonton, my first problem would be I never get a chance on power play or special teams and I sit on my a$$ while Conna and Drai play half the game. Now you're bringing in another player, an idiot who's going to reduce my time line even more.
And a lot of these players have friends that have played with Kane before, even in a league with 600 players its a small team, everyone knows someone that's played for someone and they're going to reach out and get the scoop a luumpa on Kane. Do you think that they're going to approach him with open arms. Or are they going to be like "I know exactly what you did in that dressing room and if you do that here I'm going to run you over with my car"
Kane has come across in these interviews as dishonest, defensive and trying to spin things. The Oilers don't seem to have a leadership that can probably get around that, and I'm betting there are players in that dressing room that are already in the "I know what he is and F him camp"
Plus how long until Kane another notorious me only one way player joins the this guy scored on my watch club. Looks at the defense and goaltending and starts going into business for himself?
Plus if I'm an Oiler that's not da Conna or Leon, and I see that we're not going to get goaltending help or blueline help because Holland has once again F'd up his cap situation even more, do I just throw my hands up?
