Considering how much he's being paid for how terrible he is, he kinda does owe us. Hopefully he take the summer to reflect and realizes that he's hurting the team and not helping it and goes on LTIR. It's either that or pressbox him for the rest of his career, he's dead weight and the team is better without him.
I disagree.
Nobody can say he's lazy or intentionally doing something to sabotage his career.
He isn't any slower than he was 5 years ago.
Find me 1 article on the internet that states that he's not the player he used to be because of a past injury and I'll change my mind.
This isn't a case of a player like Louie Erikson signing and then deciding that he just needs to clock in and out every game for the $$$ and put no effort into playing hockey.
This is the case of a team hiring a crappy GM who had this idea that building a team that fundamentally doesn't doesn't work in the NHL and going out signing players who aren't currently relevant in the NHL.
This was made possible by the stupidly loyal season ticket holders of the Edmonton Oilers.
