He may be willing to discuss some of these issues but it does not appear he's willing to negotiate them.

I am sick of the owners. Look what the guy in Edmonton is trying to pull by asking the city to pony up even more cash after they had an agreement. I hope Bettmen doesn't side with him cause teh fans in Edmonton deserve better. They've soldout a lot of games even though they've have one of the worst records year after year.

This is a great comment on the Edmo owner (and owners in general). Seattle just authorized the building of a new arena and the main reason is to "get back" the Sonics but the news mentioned the Oilers specifically as an NHL franchise that could be open to move to Seattle ...

Good. They can move the Yotes or someone else hemoraging money there. Seems silly to move the Oilers.

Looks particularly bad when it is revealed Edmonton made $10+ million last season.

I'm going with Dallas here. Hell, they are in the Pacific Division anyway right? It would make the most sense IMO.

Seattle Stars has a very nice ring to it!
