There was a wild rumor that Pocklington considered trading his entire team to Ballard for his team and like 25 million dollars. I think the league would have stopped that. But Picklington was always looking for that big payout.
Had they done that...Oilers probably do move in the early 90's as they would have been drawing 4000 people a game after that.
