I see this as a low risk move for the Oilers with a potentially high return. His off-ice problems didn’t seem to affect his play with San Jose – I suspect that the arena is the one place where he can forget about everything else – and if he turns out to be a liability, he’s only signed for the rest of this season, and not for a lot of money. I guess the no-move clause means they can't waive him, but maybe they could terminate his contract (I honestly don’t know what would need to happen for that). As recently as last season he was the Sharks’ top scorer, so it seems more likely to me that he’ll turn out to be a bargain signing.
