But yeah, holding a grudge against Comrie when his second contract came up, after performing well, wanting Comrie to actually take less because he felt Comrie owed him because the Oilers overpaid him out of junior as a free agent.
When Comrie refused, his name and his families name was dragged through the mud in the city. Then the trade demand and Lowe firing back with asking for money back, as if Lowe was standing up for some misguided principal.
Of course this also after the infamous Christmas day practice too.

What false promises did he offer Pronger?
I think most of us would really enjoy a list of the crappy things they've/Lowe has done.
Let me try:
-Dragging Comrie through the mud, then asking for money back
-Christmas Day practice
-Calling out Souray for faking injury
-Trading known injured players back to back
-Announcing almost signed/traded players which made them look bad when it wasn't consummated
-Fired 4 coaches (including a popular Pat Quinn) in 5 years for not getting further despite a horrible record.
Did I miss some?
