Forbes Reveals The Poorest and Most Valuable NHL Franchises - Some Will Shock You
The yearly National Hockey League franchise values for 2021-2022 were revealed on Wednesday by the American business publication Forbes.
The valuation of 14 of the 32 NHL clubs has reached $1 billion or more, and three more teams are just $10-$40 million away from doing the same.
"Our valuations are enterprise values (equity plus net debt) and include the economics of each team's current arena deal but not the value of the real estate itself."
"Revenue and operating income are adjusted for revenue sharing and net of arena revenue that goes towards arena debt service, but exclude the $350 million split by 31 teams (the expansion Seattle Kraken were excluded) from the league's sale of its remaining 10% stake in BamTech to Walt Disney in 2021."
