Katz finally gets his Oilers: Enter billionaire Darryl Katz, a born and raised Edmontonian who has persued this team with Sutter-like tenacity, who finally gained hold of the team Tuesday, for the purchase price of $200-million. The Edmonton Investors Group, a noble and community minded bunch who saved the city from a fate similar to Winnipeg or Quebec City, begrudgingly moved over so that the Rexall Pharmacies billionaire may take things from here.

Nice. Now I'm going to pursue my wife's affections with Sutter-like tenacity.

Good call by the group to let this happen. This is precisely the kind of ownership that can change a team around - especially a smaller market one. Katz has pledged $100MM of his own money to build a new rink, too. Fruity umbrella drinks for all!
