The only way the OIlers could gain more control were if he were traded to the Oil Kings. Plus in Europe he's more likely to be a complementary player rather than the central offensive weapon so will learn more about the defensive side of the gameAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16666156028659867559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030441538852667041.post-36884381346428235742014-11-19T08:33:35.111-08:002014-11-19T08:33:35.111-08:00I don't think he would go to Europe because hi...I don't think he would go to Europe because his coming to North America at a young age shows that he wants to play in the NHL.
