News & Notes XLIV: Revenge of the Seth

NHL Valuations Ranking List

32% 1 year increase - 25th spot on the NHL valuation

25 -1

Carolina Hurricanes

$1.29 billion

32%

You have to wonder what the valuation would be in an alternate timeline where he doesn't hire RBA to HC and the team continues to be mediocre.

Either way this increase in valuation makes him fighting with Rod over the coaches contracts so much seem petty.

Well, Merulo showed that even poorly run franchises go WAY up in value the longer you keep them, so I'm not sure how much this increase matters.

Good counter point to what I just said.

Carolina again? FFS.... It's sad. Dom, please. This content diminishes the Athletic's reputation for hockey coverage.

I'm sure the editors at The Athletic are measuring engagement, but engagement with crappy reporting eventually leads to loss of trust and loss of subscriptions.

My 2 cents: Scale back on the analytics based content or find new people who can interpret it better, like Dimitri Filipovic.

Better yet, hire a writer who will talk about systems, Xs and Os. Hardly anyone in the market is doing it and it will be way more engaging than the inaccurate nerd stuff.
