What's more important than a lease extension for this franchise to keep them in New York?
Sorry, but not a 5th ring if this franchise relocates in 2-3 years.
Not John Tavares resigning.
There is no other arena waiting in New York for this franchise with revenue streams to support an NHL franchise.
Mr Ledecky also cannot approach John Tavares or his agent next summer about a new contract without a lease extension agreement first.
We don't need sources, gossip, or speculation, Mr Prokhorov's offering statement remove all doubt, we now have specific deadlines to negotiate a lease extension, and the terms of the current lease.
