a couple of months ago when Katz (how do you get "Cates" out of that, someone plz explain that to me) made his last offer he was shut down and the ownership group went so far as to pass a motion to never put the team up for sale again, saying they wanted to protect the integrity of the team, or some such prattle.  Also from Edmonton Journal. 

Now "Cates" up's his cash almost $50 million, and all of a sudden the ownership group are his b***h.   I guess "Cates" will be buying "integrity" along with the hockey team.

I seem to recall that his 1st offer was around 145 million.  The second was closer to 180, so this offer isn't really a big increase.  I think the difference this time around is that Katz talked to some people in the ownership group and got support from the beginning.

Considering that the EIG are the only reason there's and NHL team in Edmonton right now,you  saying that they're selling their integrity with the team is just wrong.  The members of the investors group should be congratulated for everything they did not the other way around.

I agree Ryan, those local business men saved the club and no real Oiler fan is going to forget that.  They did a great thing ten odd years ago.  And as local businessmen also like to do, they turned a nice little profit on their investment.  Turning over the club to a guy who has the means to turn the club into a legit contender and front some money for a new barn, which benifits the whole city, is quite admirable in my books.  They got to trust Katz, good, they got a nice return on their investments, good, they deserve that after saving our team from being the Houston Oilers.;
