Oilers Entertainment Group will name Gretzky Partner and Vice-Chairman
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
Could Wayne Gretzky be in EDM today for more than the ceremony to unveil his relocated statue from Northlands at the Oilers' new arena?
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
Speculation running rampant 99 could be returning to Oilers in some official capacity, but I should stress no confirmation at this time.
Ryan Rishaug @TSNRyanRishaug
Sounding like it will be a role similar to that of Kevin Lowe's.
John Shannon @JSportsnet
Wayne Gretzky will be named Partner and Vice-Chairman of Oilers' Entertainment Group today.
Ninety-Nine returns to the Oilers!

It appears the Great One's Investment Portfolio has been rather 'Less than Great' as of late.

Of course they are. Worst run team in professional sports history. That's right... of all-time.

With their Lynx mascot going up in smoke, I guess they figured Wayne is the next best bet.

That has to be the most bloated executive staff in Corporate history.
I have to say, at least the Oilers are providing some excellent examples for Business schools across the world in two major lessons:
1. This isnt how to run a good Business.
2. This is how to run an excellent Business when you have effectively trapped a market that throws their cash at you hand over fist and requires only sweet, delicious contempt in return.

Can't they just try and invent a time machine to go back to the 80's rather than trying to re-live it?

It's pretty obvious Lowe's unofficial position is Peter Chiarelli's puppeteer.
Maybe Gretzky will get the position of co-puppeteer?
