I think it was Elliotte Friedman who said he thought it would be $80MM by the 2017-2018 season. That seems pretty plausible to me. I'm not an Oiler fan. If revenues grow by 5% annually it'll break 80M in 2019, but that seems a bit conservative as an estimate - under the last CBA the average growth was 7.2% annually so Elliotte's prediction makes sense to me.
