Joe and Jim discussed:
- The roadmap of who can opt out and when
- Whether or not the Islanders are using Belmont and Queens as purely leverage
- The Islanders receiving more revenue than originally thought
- His view on which side benefits most from the current deal
- The impact of Ledecky/Malkin and Mikhail Prokhorov on this relationship
- The long-term viability of Barclays as the home of the Islanders
- Which possible location between NVMV, Belmont and Willets Point is most likely
