Summary
Daryl Katz bought the Oilers in 2008, got a new arena, but the team’s on-ice performance has been a disaster—years without playoffs despite top draft picks. The real problem? A string of disastrous GM hires, questionable decisions, and Katz’s overbearing involvement in front-office moves, even coaching changes. With Connor McDavid still waiting for a championship, the constant turnover and lack of trust in his own hires are crippling the organization. Until Katz steps back or ownership changes, the Oilers’ rebuild looks destined to drag on. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
