All this is doing is saying to the fans, we got McDavid look at the changes.
his next move will be that he will announce that he'll take the summer to evaluate the organization again, and then the only change he'll make is to recommend that a veteran coach be bought in and Nelson named co-coach.
Mark my words, Katz probably gave him carte Blanche over the oilers organization except for Lowe and Mac-T.
Katz desperately wants both of them to be around and worshiped if McDavid turns the franchise around.

Totally disagree. Bob would not take a PR role. I think he will act firmly and decisively to put his stamp on this like he did with CDN hockey.
I'll go a step further and say Katz told him this might be coming a year ago, instructing Bob not to rock the boat until they saw what the current team accomplished. Either the team made the playoffs and lots of money, or they would fail and might win McD (or another star player).
Katz is a ruthless Billionaire. I doubt he cares about Lowe as much as some guys think he does. What he likes most is making money and being a winner in all his ventures. There is no way he is happy with teh gong show up there.
IMO this is bad news for us, because Oilers might stop sucking in a few years.
