Send him down there while he's waiver eligible and leave him there. Worked fine for Tampa with Drouin. Too late to do that now so if he's threatening the KHL now, guess we let him give that a shot to prove he can actually dominate a lower level league.
Edit - You still didn't answer the question also. I've asked you the same question repeatedly and never gotten an answer.
Well its really a rhetorical question.
Of course a team has an influence over player development and a team can fail a player....the Oilers have had theor share of failure for sure. That doesnt mean that you can say that every failure is the teams fault.
JP and his agent have pushed back on Jesse being in the AHL and you know that. The Oilers have definitly played a role here...I am not sure why you think I am picking sides.
That said based on the information we have its clear that Jesse and his agent should be shouldering most of the blame.
Jesse simply isnt an NHL player but him and his agent have an inflated sense of his abilities and believe that he is.
Its really too bad but I wish good luck to him.
Ultimately I care more about the team than the player.
