It's all about timing. It was a perfect opportunity for KK to come out with this news - during a Flames Foundation event that is geared towards the community on the same day that Seattle releases news regarding an arena deal.
It's all part of the negotiations to see if they can get significant concessions from the city.
Edmontonians quickly forget that Katz did his "city tours" and made threats about moving during their negotiations. They were also lucky that they had a mayor in Stephen Mandel who was prepared to bend over backwards to make an arena deal happen.
