Re: Hopes, wishes and dreams for 16/17
From: (Anonymous)I got the sense (maybe Oilers nonnies can correct me if I'm wrong) is that part of his gripe was that he stuck around and suffered through when they were terrible, and now that they're almost certainly going to improve thanks to McDavid he got ditched. It might have just been fan speculation but I thought I read that he was specifically upset that they didn't see him as part of the McJesus future. Which is understandable, tbh.
Re: Hopes, wishes and dreams for 16/17
From: (Anonymous)Oh yeah, it's... not great on the Oilers' part, especially if they messed up his development for nothing.
I just had to look up his age because I didn't remember and damn, he played for them longer than I thought. Time flies, huh.
Re: Hopes, wishes and dreams for 16/17
From: (Anonymous)He's always had a problem with wearing his emotions right there on his sleeve for the world to see so it wouldn't shock me if he meant exactly what he said (I will happily watch him take retaliation penalties from afar in the same way I happily watched post-trade Patented James Neal Offensive Zone Penalties)
Re: Hopes, wishes and dreams for 16/17
From: (Anonymous)I also think there's some lingering resentment from Taylor because he didn't really play well with McDavid. McDavid is a really, really good passer. And Taylor Hall doesn't have cement hands. But he's not exactly an elite finisher either. Eberle played much better with McDavid because Eberle has more "finish."
