The Edmonton Oilers have enjoyed an embarrassment of riches on the ice in recent years with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, who ranked first and third in the NHL Network’s preseason list of the best players in the sport. The duo have Edmonton in the Western Conference Finals for the second time in three seasons, and the club is tied 1-1 in its series against the Dallas Stars.
The small-market Oilers are also thriving off the ice, with Rogers Place one of the most prosperous arenas in the NHL and the surrounding 25-acre mixed-use sports and entertainment development, ICE District, the second largest in North America, behind only Hudson Yards in New York.
