We may criticize Katz about his hockey sense here... but so far he's been filling seats and has a new arena and ice district in Edmonton, funded in part by us taxpayers - I think the Calgary Flames would consider themselves lucky to get the same deal... and we won't, we have different fundamentals here, and we stand by them (big difference up north).

I understand what you're talking about, the amorality of High-Level managers in the cause of achieving goals.

But thats become very specific. In many ways its dying out because its become something obvious and targets arent so easy anymore, and in other ways its becoming a very scary profession.
