Report: Maple Leafs have highest franchise value in NHL



Toronto Maple Leafs have the highest franchise value of any NHL team, according to Sportico.



The Leafs' value is pegged at US$2 billion, despite their Stanley Cup drought lingering since 1967.
Like many pro sports teams during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Leafs face more of a challenge than usual filling their venue. Attendance at their season opener on Wednesday was announced at 18,493, short of their traditional sellout.

Ontario agreed to allow sports teams to have full capacity just five days before the opener.

Four other Original Six teams -- The New York Rangers ($1.87 billion), Montreal Canadiens ($1.58 billion), Chicago Blackhawks ($1.56 billion) and Boston Bruins ($1.31 billion) -- round out the top five. The Detroit Red Wings -- the other Original 6 team -- are 10th at $1.03 billion.

Imagine if the highest valued team hired a rookie President because of … reasons, who then hired a rookie GM, who then hired a rookie coach? Recipe for success right there.

Now imagine if the Leafs won a round or even two each year, imagine what the team would be worth? If I’m a board member with MLSE my next vote would be to clean house and start looking at some playoff success where there’s REAL profits

I am sure the rookie CEO who hired a rookie head coach and rookie GM, only to subsequently replace said rookie GM with another rookie GM, is really regretting winning back to back Cups right now.

Quite possibly, but keep in mind that people have been predicting that since the days of the Blizzard.

It's been over 50 years since the debut of the NASL and up to the present professional soccer in North America has always under-performed when compared to the rest of the world.

The "TML Brand" is in front of more eyeballs.

Just like with HNIC, the Leafs play at 7:00 PM ET every Saturday night only team that does..... I might have been an Ottawa fan if it was them instead of Toronto in the early 90's, and spent my money on Sens jerseys or Sens memorabilia etc
