I don't think that is even the worst case scenario. I personally think if Katz is so hell bent on improving his deal with the City the league will force him to try and sell the team to a group in Edmonton that is willing to work with the previous deal that Katz was on board with until recently.
I just don't see the league letting an owner move a team from a market like Edmonton when the city has committed plenty of money already to building a new downtown arena.
I think there is no chance the Oilers are moved out of Edmonton over this.
