He's starting his NHL career over in a much better situation for sure.
48 game season, no training camp and his first year with the team to implement a system. The fact that he managed them to be at .469 despite the OBC being in full control as well is an Oilers miracle.

He was given a totally raw deal in Edmonton (Nelson had a raw deal as well, being babysat by McTavish when he was interim head coach).

I think people will be surprised at the Sabres this year.
