Around the NHL 11 - 2023/24

[KingBogo]

Really? I must have forgot that , at least it wasn't 5 million.

It was also at an inconsequential time in terms of team impact as we were a young team outside of the playoffs and weren't pushing the cap at the time. The Oilers were supposed to be a contender and they have the nose firmly pushed against the cap, with little room to maneuver.

We didn't give pavs that contract to play on the moose and we didn't sign steve mason to pay a team to take him... it's okay to admit that Chevy makes a mistake now and then but the Jets fkd up their cap with both those goalies and we were planning to be a contender

 

[B33R LEAGUE]

Who posts shit like this (what Kane's ex posted)?

I felt gross even reposting..

 

[Channelcat]

They drafted Broberg because they "needed" D and the next pick Zegras went

Wow! I forgot about that. And that is why you aways draft best player available .

 

[JetsFan815]

Some here don't like hearing this but he would look so good on our 4th line

4th line? He has >= goals than 2/3s of our top-6

But in all seriousness there was a real good possibility of him doing well in TBL. I think he was going to fit in seamlessly to what Colton was for them (solid production and chance generation in low mins).

Huberdeau benched in the third tonight, contract looks worse and worse.

I can't figure this guy out. He was a killer player for a while.

 

[bustamente]

San Jose game has a lot of empty seats, too bad the Sharks might win tonight

 

[WolfHouse]

Wow Matheson almost singlehandedly threw away that montreal game...

 

[AlphaLackey]

San Jose game has a lot of empty seats, too bad the Sharks might win tonight

Who better to snap an 11 game losing streak against than a Torts team

 

[Thechozen1]

I just checked the schedule and it's a shame that the Jets don't play any of the teams that are really spiraling right now (Oilers, Sharks, Flames) anytime soon. Would've been nice to lock in a few points while they are in their current state as sure they will have stabilized the ship by the time we play them in a few weeks.

Or be that team that helps break their losing cycle.

 

[ps241]

I know it’s early still but Edmonton is 2nd last in the league, only the Sharks have a worse record. Chicago is 3 points ahead of them and they are in a rebuild. They need to get their head out of their ass over the next 10 games.

 

[Thechozen1]

What's the point if sending campbell down for Pickard... trade him to Carolina and eat half of his salary

Carolina doesn’t want Campbell sinking their ship. They’ll roll the dice on PTO Halak if the even need to.

They have the Sharks next so they will likely either get some confidence or be in complete despair lol

I hope the sharks steamroll them.

 

[Romang67]

How do you build THAT bad of a team around McDavid? In hindsight, if he "only" had a Hart worthy season last season, instead of the best season in recent memory, they probably miss the playoffs.

 

[Huffer]

They drafted Broberg because they "needed" D and the next pick Zegras went

True, I'm not an advocate for need over picking the best player the scouts agree on. Just that Wallstedt could have also been considered the BPA there as well. They may end up being correct, and trading down and taking Bourgault may end up being the best move, but Wallstedt seemed like a good pick there as well.

 

[Potrzebie]

I can't figure this guy out. He was a killer player for a while.

now he's a coach killer

Sportico released an NHL Team Value Ranking list

NHL Franchise Valuations Ranking List: From Maple Leafs to Blue Jackets

Check out Sportico's full NHL team values ranking list, from the Maple Leafs to the Blue Jackets.

www.sportico.com

Methodology:

To derive the fair market value of the 32 NHL franchises, Sportico calculated each team’s revenue, relying on publicly available information and financial records—as well as interviews with those knowledgeable of team finances, including nine sports bankers and lawyers who actively work on NHL transactions. In the interest of accuracy, we traded candor for anonymity. This information was vetted with multiple team owners, team financial and operating officers, media relations personnel and former team executives, as well as industry experts and sports-focused economists. Below are definitions of some major metrics.



Total Value: The sum of the fair-market value of an NHL franchise, combined with the value of team-related businesses and real estate holdings.

Team Value: NHL franchise valuation, derived from metrics by which hockey-team transactions occur, including aggregating local and national revenues and factoring in a team-specific multiplier. This represents the fair market value of the team itself, excluding related businesses held by its owners.

Team-Related Businesses and Real Estate Holdings: The value of a franchise owner’s equity in team-related businesses that are distinct corporate entities, as well as government-assessed real estate related to venues, practice facilities and other properties.

This category excludes value derived from enterprises determined as too attenuated from the hockey team’s operations, which fall into three categories: (1) rent from non-hockey, outside-of-arena operations, such as the Oilers’ ICE District venture; (2) licensing fees paid by non-hockey third parties to a team’s sister company for the use of intellectual property; (3) team owners’ investment in businesses unrelated to franchise operations.

For franchises that do not own their arenas, the value of a team’s lease—often with advantageous terms negotiated with municipal or state authorities—is captured in the Team Value category.

Sportico is committed to transparency, including provision of detailed methodology and sourcing information below. For any questions, please contact sports valuations reporter Kurt Badenhausen at [email protected].


Fair Market Franchise Valuations

To derive the estimated enterprise value of the 32 NHL franchises, Sportico calculated each team's revenue, relying on publicly available information and financial records—as well as interviews with those knowledgeable of team finances, including eight sports bankers and lawyers who actively work on NHL transactions. In the interest of accuracy, we traded candor for anonymity. This information was vetted with multiple team owners, team financial and operating officers, media relations personnel and former team executives, as well as industry experts and investors.

Revenue totals were then subject to a team-specific multiplier, which, based on interviews with multiple sports bankers, remains the most common manner by which transactions are judged in sports, due to dramatic fluctuations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), year-over-year, based on salary cap spending and special expenses.

The team-specific multipliers were based on numerous factors, including historical sales, market (size, saturation and interest by prospective owners), strength of brand, on-ice performance (historical and recent), terms of facility lease, debt burden, and expected future team and league economics. These ranged from a 4.5 times revenue multiple to 7.5 in the case of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Sportico's revenues and valuations take into account league revenue sharing. In the NHL, 10 teams pay into revenue sharing under a complicated formula that targets 6.05% of hockey-related revenue to be distributed to low revenue clubs. The pool is supplemented with gate receipts from playoff games. Low revenue teams received nearly $300 million last season, with the pool dented by the NHL's revenue shortfall during COVID-19. Those clubs should pocket $400 million annually within the next couple of seasons.

Revenue was calculated based on analyses of data from industry sources and reports, as well as interviews with experts and those with knowledge of team and league finances as detailed below. Together, this comprised hundreds of inputs of confirmed and estimated information from dozens of sources.


NHL Franchise Review and Comments

Among the 32 NHL franchises, 13 teams participated with Sportico by validating financial information, while others did not respond. The National Hockey League would not comment on individual team finances.


Financial and Industry Sources

Team and league financial information was derived from the following sources: Securities and Exchange Commission filings for Madison Square Garden Sports Corp., as well as those of related entity Madison Square Garden Entertainment; the 2013 NHL-NHLPA Collective Bargaining Agreement, which was extended in 2020, including a Memorandum of Understanding, through the 2025-26 season; and analyses of historical team sales from 2011 to 2023, based on Sportico research.

Industry data sources include: the Association of Luxury Suite Directors (for club and luxury suite capacity, occupancy and pricing); Team Marketing Report (fan spending and sponsorship information); individual team and sponsor websites; Chris Bigelow of the Bigelow Companies (per capita spending on stadium concessions); the Marquette University Law School (historical sports facility lease information); S&P Global Market Intelligence (subscriber, revenue and cash flow data pertaining to four regional sports networks); The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission's Discretionary and On-Demand Service data (pertaining to two separate TV outlets owned or partially owned by the Toronto Maple Leafs' parent entities); and multiple synopses related to Sinclair Broadcast Group's purchase of 22 sports-specific cable TV outlets in 2019.

Government Sources

To assess team-owned real estate with consistency, Sportico included government property appraisals. Sources included: City and County of Denver Property Appraisal System (Colorado); Cook County Assessor's Office (Illinois); Dallas Central Appraisal System (Texas); District of Columbia Office of Tax and Revenue; Montreal's property assessment office (Quebec); City of Boston Assessing Department (Massachusetts); City of Philadelphia Office of Property Assessment (Pennsylvania); BC Assessment (British Columbia); City of Winnipeg Assessment and Taxation Department (Manitoba); Clark County Assessor's Office (Nevada); Los Angeles County Property Assessment Informational System (California); Ottawa Real Estate Board (Ontario); Edmonton Assessment and Taxation Branch (Alberta); and Toronto Real Estate Board (Ontario).

They are stealthily angling for another 1st overall pick!

They aren't even that bad, it's the goaltending sinking them.
