He breached the terms of his contract with the least ethical team in the league to the point that the NHL allowed them to void his contract, yet the league allowed him to sign with another team in the same season. Bush league!
I suspect the NHL allowed him to sign specifically so he could sign with the Oilers at league minimum. They have no qualms signing bums and crooks, and signing toxic morally bankrupt players that no other team will touch allows them to get a massive discount on their contracts. Even more reason to hate the Oilers than before.
