Still long ways to go before any move is gonna happen, but maybe?

Don't watch any NHL, but would I absolutely would if we got a team.

There will be a riot. You don't move a 5 time Stanley Cup champ because they don't get a new arena. Rexall is a dump, but it's still way better than the Saddledome

This is 100% a negotiation ploy, but it's still grimy. Next up on the Katz tour will probably be Quebec City and Kansas City.

Imagine this, the NHL fights tooth and nail to keep a money-losing franchise in the desert but lets a profitable club with a storied history leave the heartland to play in an untested domain. That is exactly how the NHL does business.

Exactly. And to a city that just recently lost an NBA franchise to boot.

I think it is a great idea, and will shore up the pacific division, plus add another US market team that will be turning around soon since the Oilers have a nice young team. Seattle is a great market and it will be very good for hockey.

Not gonna happen. Alberta has way too much oil money. But give Katz credit for the threat.

There are just certain teams that you don't move and Edmonton are one of them.
