Yes, we are lucky to have a team. Luckier to perhaps have revenue sharing that locks us in place.
But if you're looking for solace, it's that this team is run by Craig Conroy. There are new hands on the wheel, and if Iggy is actually part of the leadership group then hopefully Edwards is enough of a jock sniffer to listen.

Well, part of it is that Edmontonians have always just had that one team to identify themselves with. They rely on it. Who wears a jersey to a mall in the middle of summer? Edmonton fans.
