  1. s mebep from Edmonton, Canada writes: I like it - he'll spend at the cap and potentially invest in a new much needed arena downtown.

    Flames Suck !
  2. bruce weaver from Canada writes: Shows how much the current owners must be making if some dont want to sell. The Oilers are a little like the Leafs, crap product but fans fight for tickets.
  3. Henry Cunningham from Edmonton, Canada writes: Great news, an owner who will be dedicated to making the oilers great again.
  4. Mitchell A from Canada writes: Bruce, let's get things straight, the Oilers are nothing like the Leafs!
  5. Terry Terry from brantford, Canada writes: yes..... but will he move them to Hamilton?
  6. Matthew Townsend from Brooklyn, United States writes: Mitchell A, you're right. The Oilers have won 5 Cups in the last 25 years and the Leafs have won how many?
  7. Frank Black from Vancouver, Canada writes: Keep the oilerzzz in Edmonton...
  8. Frank Black from Vancouver, Canada writes: Boot Daryl Katz's AZZ if he moves the team...

  10. OilerFan in FortMac from Canada writes: I like this, we have an standup buyer who will keep the team stable and in Edmonton forever, and the EIG owners, all of whom have been a class act from the start and been patient during the lean years, will get a good return on their investments.
  11. Billy Biroux from Polar Bear Pit, Nunavet, Canada writes: An owner dedicated to winning?
    Something Leaf fans can only dream about.

    The Oilers have something that the Laffs will never have. It's called a young team with a future.
  13. M Poland from Calgary, Canada writes: Hopefully Katz would keep the execrable Kevin Lowe as GM and THAT would keep Flames fans happy and glorious for years.
  14. Terry Terry from Brantford, Canada writes: ....steroid use in pro sports? .....pharmacy tycoon? The Oilers might be THE team to beat over the next few years.
  15. Mariposa Belle from Leacockland, Canada writes: This is a breakthrough for sports. Pharmaceutical companies owning sports teams openly.

    Full disclosure arrives.
  16. Dick Lenning from Edmonton, Canada writes: I hope the new downtown Edmonton arena will be an Olympic size rink. I also hope it will go back to the good old days where the fans alone made the ambiance instead of stupid loud noises every time the home team scores or excessive pre-recorded music.
  17. wayne powers from saskatoon, writes: If he gets shot down again he should try to buy a baseball team, you know the players and the players union would love a guy who owns lots of DRUG stores.
