Of course he said that. Its how back channeling looks.
I see two options here.
Katz is the ultimate tanker. He realized that the only way to truely ensure tanking would work is to was not to ask his GM to tank but instead to hire truely incompetant people to run the show. This way the tanking was natural and wouldn't be ruined by peoples natural instincts to win. Once he drafted a truely generational talent he fires everyone and recovers.
or
McDavid's agent said things need to be fixed.
Otherwise why werent MacT and Lowe fired immediately after the season ended.
Something changed when the lottery was done. Either Katz is done tanking and firing him or McDavids agent said something.
