There's been a lot made publicly today about how Daryl Katz looks. After asking a few questions, I can tell you he has been struggling with life threatening
bacteria-resistant sinus infection over the past few years.

In fact, he carried an IV bag 24/7 during the playoff run, 2 seasons ago. The infection has a 50-50 survival rate. He's had 3 surgeries over the past 10 months with 1 more surgery to go. It is the primary reason why he hasn’t been around Edmonton and the team.

"We have no delivered on the promise we made to fans in recent years. And while accountability falls on everyone in our organization, this starts and stops with me. I want you to know we're listening. We get it." -Katz #Oilers
