Yeah, if he can't be a top 6 player on the Oilers, he'll better accept that he's not a top 6 player.

I would have taken Maroon for $900K here.
You will get a kick out of this ; A few years back i was at the arena of the USHL that i scouted for on Saturday morning after the team had played Friday night . Was walking around while some kids were getting put thru the paces on the ice and spotted Paul Coffee . He had one of his kids there skating with the black aces [it was spring break} hoping for them to notice him . I went over and struck up a conversation and got talking draft eligible players and said to him that we had a really good prospect with our team . He said and i quote ; yea i noticed him last night he is really good , I hope Edmonton don't pick him cause they will screw him up too , it's fricken embarrassing .
So even there past great players are shaking their heads , not just us .

Also, form Flyers great Mike McKenna retired today. He should be in the Flyers HoF within a few years
I don't think too many guys of his pedigree and his age have gone this route (at least I can't think of any off the top of my head that are not Russian, anyway, which I consider a different animal). That being said, if the price on him was minimal to obtain him I think someone would have taken a chance. He's only three years removed from his draft and PLENTY of guys are given opportunity for reclamation/change of scenery, that's why I am thinking it is more an issue of him wanting too much money that triggers a higher RFA compensation pick or the Oilers wanting too much in trade (or possibly his refusal to sign an offer sheet because he thought EDM would match?).

I think he made the right call.
He can probably have a comfortable life playing in Europe and not have to deal with the media/drama that will come with the NHL.
Get a nice house in what by all accounts is a lovely place in the world, some beautiful Scandinavian women, and spend your days playing hockey.
I mean probably but if he wants to play in the NHL it probably isn't the right call. If he just wants to be a pro hockey player then he did. This is just such an Edmonton thing to happen.
On another sad Edmonton note, Nail Yakupov still is the 13th highest point scorer of that draft class.

It's not when these kids are all getting coached to use their contract out of their ELC to set themselves up for their next contract to be as a UFA.

I have faith in the hearing impaired's ability to pick up on Kypreos' uselessness through closed captioning.
