I knew right from the beginning that Katz would threaten to "pull a Pocklington" and move the Oilers if he didn't get what he wanted. This is no surprise to me. The team should have never been sold from the EIG to Katz in the first place. However, Edmonton does need a new arena and this project would definitely revitalize a good part of the downtown. Katz and the City need to work something out and have better communication between the two. We have to look to what will benefit this city in the future. Katz has no concern or love for this city. He is someone that cannot be trusted, unless everything is obtained in writing from him. Sad thing, but seemingly more truthful now than ever before.
