Judging by what I’ve been reading in the STH thread I think we’re getting close to (if we’re not at that point already) where, for the first time since Katz owned the team, that the on ice performance is starting to affect the bottom line. Those three year seat guarantees are up at the end of this season. We may finally be getting to the point where Katz is interesting in taking a look at how he’s running his team and making some tough choices.
I doubt it. There's always suckers wanting to replace those who give up their season tickets.

Would it be worth including "resigned" with "fired" so either or is applicable? I tend to agree, these alumni are so close to the situation, I don't even think they can see it anymore.

MacTavish taking over on an interim basis while also looking with Nicholson for the next GM.

No buzzwords.

Should add a few more prop bets to the contest:

  • the number of times an Oilers executive says that "it's fair to say, half the teams in the NHL would trade their rosters for ours"
  • the number of times an Oilers executive says that they "know a thing or two about winning"
  • the number of times an Oilers executive says "you're telling me you're getting impatient after nine years?" (since they always claim the rebuild started in 2010)
Also, Chiarelli won't be fired. He will be promoted as assistant to Bobby Nicks and Keith Gretzky will be GM.

Also something about how the Oilers are still paying for the success in the 80's and that these things are cyclical in nature...

Yes for me it is one and the same. Resigned, Relocated, Re-established, Repurposed, Reformatted, Relinquish, Renounce, Retire, Revise.....Promoted, Fired, any word is fine, the assumption is that he is no longer the GM and someone else will be in the position who will "work harder" and "think smarter".
