Ah, who am I kidding. Katz will find a way to screw this up anyways.

All true, but when things get really rough Katz will still call on Lowe for his advice.
There has to be more to this story, a rushed, quiet exit for an egomaniac. He could’ve continued to stay in the public shadows and collect a pay check and still make his demands known and enacted at the hockey ops level, and because he was so well insulated and close to the owner(s) over the years, none of the failures and internal garbage he created, stuck to him for 25 years in management.
But, without fanfare or a preplanned speech or direct press release to shine the spotlight on him one more time, a tweet from the Oilers signals his exit? Doesn’t add up.
