In response to "Were the Oilers finances in trouble or just greed? " by Will Hunting

Not so much the Oilers as Pocklington's other businesses

So in a sense greed. But at the same time, they probably couldn't afford to keep everyone - they had a Yankees level of talent on the roster with a Pirates level of revenue stream.

Bear in mind that Pocklington is almost certainly crooked - right now he's facing fraud charges.
