Right, and that was Bettman and the league giving Katz whatever help they could in terms of getting a new arena, something that would be good for Katz, the Oilers and the NHL.
Now Bettman is sitting in his office watching Katz parade around Markham, Quebec City and Seattle posturing about 'potentially moving the team' knowing full well that it would never, ever be approved. All Katz is doing is making himself look like a moron.
They even interviewed the Mayor of Edmonton who stated something along the lines of; "if he thinks hes scaring us by threatening to move the team it isnt working because the NHL wont let him."
I think Bob Mackenzie said last night that in response to Katz's threats of moving the team the NHL would make him sell it to a local owner dedicated to keeping the team in Edmonton before they would ever approve relocation.
Which is funny because isnt that what Katz was supposed to be all along?
Its also interesting to hear a few things out of Edmonton, things along the lines of:
"Being worth a billion dollars and actually having a billion dollars are not the same thing."
In reference to Katz maybe not being as wealthy as his billing.
