Katz. Spends to the cap and doesn’t interfere with hockey ops. Easy choice.

His only weakness is that he’s too lenient. He needs to step up and clean house completely. If you can’t build a competent team around the best player in the world, there is a problem.

Not necessarily true.

You still take Katz, the guy who got a new arena built. But Katz is the reason Yakupov was an Oiler. And why Kevin Lowe is still employed.

He interferes with hockey ops. It's the biggest knock against him as an owner

Wouldn’t they have taken Ryan Murray instead? It would have ended up being about the same.
That's a valid point, it really wouldn't have mattered.

But he did interfere with hockey ops, and at the time it seemed like a no brainer to pick Nail

Katz without a question. Katz tries and wants the team to do well.

Neither cares about winning. The only difference between them is that Melnyk is more public with his idiocy.

At least Katz has enough money to run his team correctly, maybe nothing else good about him though. On the MSG telecast I am watching they said Katz was on the roadtrip with the Oilers, which they said he never does, so maybe that is a positive.
