Some of the increase in Edmonton’s franchise value is due to the arrival of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Some is due to the $600-million-plus deal worked out in 2012 with Stephen Mandel’s city council to build a new Downtown arena, which has spurred on more than $2 billion in private investment in Edmonton.
But most of the credit goes to the team’s loyal supporters, the cult of Edmonton hockey. The Oilers owe their existence and business success to their fanaticism
so he's trying to tell us that if they hadn't fallen backwards into McDavid, and they were still wandering around in Buffalo Sabres territory while playing out of Northlands, that they would be a top earning team? he can't be that daft can he? forget it
