Yeah, wow, it really is shocking that financial success is not a litmus test to intelligent public relations (just kidding, little to no relation).

Flying to Seattle was a clear bluff because even NHL players understand that Katz's batna to public funding for a rink is paying for it on his own and staying in Edmonton, not going to Seattle. Seriously, how many millions would he have to fork over in relocation expense vs. funding the remainder of a guaranteed-to-be-sold-out arena in hockey rabid and wealthy Alberta?? Give me a break Katz, if you wanted to be a bully with your franchise, you should have bought the bloody Coyotes whoops... Islanders.

Case closed, and he will now probably end up forking over more now that he did this. Hilarious sometimes how things backfire when you act disingenuous.
