Forbes valued the Oilers as worth $166M in 08-09 vs $445M in 15-16. How that valuation changes after the first year with the new arena remains to be seen. Presumably the revenue will spike, but the operating/financing costs probably will too.

The annual compounded return on $166M to $445M in 7 years is a shade over 15%.
