With the dysfunction in the Oilers room that may be longer, but he can’t keep out of trouble off the ice either. But by end of season 2 he will be gone.

Interesting he signs before the proceedings about his status with the Sharks hit, probably another reason he was eager to sign asap, to make it more complicated with the Sharks.

And I assume Oilers only team, given his checkered, wear out his welcome history, to take a chance on him for 4y, as I assume he and his agent did some checking these past days (don’t call it tampering) and realized he wasn’t getting more than 2 years anywhere else.

Safety of Canada too, given some of his debts on the books and more importantly, off the book debts, down in the US.

Yes,pure trash too.

Oilers gave him permission to talk to other teams to judge his worth.
