wow Oilers earn a ton of money.. No way they are letting McDavid leave.

heh, and if I'm not mistaken, their current arena was still built partially from taxpayer funds.  In the province where regular Conservative party was too liberal for even them so they had another more right wing party formed (and win I think) in the past.  Where the owner is a billionaire.

 

Gotta love corporate welfare but let the peasants starve.

I would like more information on how that number is so high. AB taxes? Beer prices?

Offense sells tickets/jerseys, etc.,

Having two of the league's best players sells a lot of jerseys

 

I reckon they probably have more blue collar fans living closer to their arena than the Canucks do, even if the oil patch guys do make stupid money

 

Vancouver loves a winner, but ticket sales dip when things aren't going great

It's crazy to me that all teams are valued over $1B. It was only about a decade ago that it was major news when a team (Toronto) became the first NHL franchise to surpass $1B in value.

I think this is the only result of significance to Franquilini:

 

 

Everything else is likely secondary.

This was my first though too. I can envision him staring at this report in his office, quietly muttering to himself, "Suck it, Tom!"

That Oilers value is fickle as hell.  McDavid gets traded or retired and it plummets.  Kind of crazy how directly the value of one player is illustrated.
