The seasons prior to that, he took notable steps forward every single time. Yes, he's overpaid, but again, not as drastic as people make out it to be.Or maybe he just had the luxury of playing the same 6 teams over and over two seasons ago as opposed to last season when every team had a crack at him. It's pretty ironic that his best season came when the Oilers were playing 6 other teams all year. If anything, last season and every season but the one with the Canadian division should mean more when evaluating him.
Oilers are who they are though so they paid him off a career season.
And rip on the Oilers all you want, you clearly have an agenda in your first 3-4 posts on here - but so far I would argue they've improved on the roster that went to the WCF final this past season and should now clearly be atop the Pacific and above everyone in aside from the Blues, Avs and maybe the Wild in the West.
