He's sold them magic beans and they're eatting it up. I mean most of the "kids" are on entry level deals too, so they won't even earn all they're bonuses that take up that cap room and Katz gets to pocket even more cash. People call the Flames ownership the devil for trying to make the playoffs to make money, but don't realize that they could make MORE money by doing what the Oiler's have done.
I mean he's pretty much executing the plan I'd carry out if I was a billionaire. Why buy the Flames (the team I love) when I could buy their arch rival and make them suck for eternity while pocketing dump trucks full of cash their fan base worked hard for? Next up I hope after he builds his new arena he sells all the season tickets to outlets like Stubhub/other scalpers to drive up the prices for the common man.

Not sure if serious.. but I can guarentee that Katz bleeds his blue and copper. He is is love with the Oilers of the 80s and that is his problem. As pointed our earlier he does not hold Lowe accountable. Somehow MacT got back into the organization and the focus is on rebuilding the flashy skaters of the 80s. The problem is those teams don't win anymore. The game has evolved and either he doesn't see it or he has too much blind faith in Lowe that he doesn't believe it. Until he can let go of the past he will never make the changes required to turn his toy into a hockey team.
