Whatever happened of Keith Gretzky? A year ago he was penciled in to be the 1a) GM of the Oilers and a hot commodity to lead the Oilers into the 2030s, it was just that Holland came around to nudge him out but he was going to be front and center and a key peice for years to come.
If he's not the prime example of the Oilers controlling the press up there, the 2 week media barrage (it happens before a coach or gm is hired or fired up there like clockwork) praising him, which ends up getting along to TSN to be a national sports story like Lowe likes, I don't know what is.
In this case too, toss in Lowe and some of the said press making sure they give enough praise to be able to stay close enough to Wayne to smell his jock, too.
