It's no secret by now that Edmonton Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl has recently signed an 8 year contract extension worth $14 MM AAV. He has stated that he wants to remain an "Oiler for life" and much of that is being attributed to Katz's work behind the scenes.
According to Leavins, the Leon Draisaitl contract is among the growing evidence of how Mr. Katz's influence has helped and is continuing to build the Edmonton Oilers into a perennial Stanley Cup contender. Good ownership and managers allow employees to flourish and grow. But we also know the #1 reason most people leave their current jobs: Their boss.
Draisaitl praises Katz in interview:
Although Katz has been the subject of some controversy over the years, there's no denying the love and commitment he has for this hockey club. The players are obviously happy with their world class treatment from the Oilers, and that ultimately all stems from ownership.
