Wow. Meeting with officials in Seattle during the lockout to move the franchise you've led into the NHL cellar three years running? You stay classy, Darryl.

They will run him out of town if he moves the Oilers to Seattle.

This reeks of Burkies - all it takes is 1 phone call to move the Canucks threats. :steamingpileofcrap:

It's just a ploy -- it'll never happen.

A ploy, albeit a very douchey one.

5. Did we mention Katz is threatening to move the team from a powerful hockey market to an unknown quantity and would be second banana in the arena? We're seriously being blackmailed with this scenario?

I heard somewhere he took out ads in the local paper to apologize for this douche move? Can't remember the source but it was implied not entirely tongue-in-cheek that he may have been concerned about an angry mob running him out of town.

I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that he would have been run out of Edmonton.

I don't know about you, but I can't wait for the next season of "Oil Change."

So this is supposed to bring the Katz Group back to the table how? Katz moves the team to Seattle or Las Vegas and Edmonton gets the Coyotes.

Yeah, because moving from one of the top 10 most profitable NHL markets is a great idea. It'd be very Al Davis of Katz.

But the best quote about this was how Katz bumbling this sure thing explains perfectly why Lowe and Tambellini continue to work for him.
