Our ranking of all 122 franchises in the NFL, NBA, NHL, and MLB rates teams based on how much they spent in player payroll for every win during the last five seasons. Each team is compared against the average price per win in its league to produce a score we call the efficiency index. The less a team spends compared with its peers, the lower its score. Playoff victories and championships get extra weight.
Playoff wins count for 10 percent of a season (e.g., 16.2 wins in baseball); Wild Card wins get half credit.
Championships count for 50 percent of a season (81 wins in baseball).

The Los Angeles Kings are ranked fourth in the NHL with an efficiency rating of -1.2254, and are ranked thirteenth out of all the 122 franchises throughout the NHL, NBA, MLB, and NFL with an efficiency rating of, again, -1.2254. Smaller numbers are better.
Go Kings Go!!!
