Additionally, the group has some influence. That’s unusual in Edmonton.The contract extensions of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid are crucial for Daryl Katz's exit. He needs them signed likely for four years, maybe five, assuming they want to re up in Edmonton. We'll assume they do.
The next thing Katz needs is another expansion, during those contracts. Let’s assume he gets that at the end of year three, year two is preferable, At that point his arena lease is 50% spent.
