NHL Team Value Rankings
« Topic Start: November 14, 2006, 12:26:02 AM »
Grabbed this from Forbes Magazine - this is $ valuation not talent or rank predictions.  See us down there sucking mud?  And yet - we're doing pretty damn good thank you.

Good find, but a team's $ value has nothing to do with its on ice performances.

exactly right...that's why I made that point in my post.  Didn't you see that?!?  I thought it was something especially interesting because the Capitals are doing so well so far this year despite being last in dollar value.  (Put that point in bold so it will be easier for you to see).

Sorry, would you have preferred I quoted your "See us down there sucking mud? And yet - we're doing pretty damn good thank you." statement in my reply?

Exactly my point...I'm confused as to why you are confused.  What's funny is that I think we are both essentially saying the same thing.  That talent doesn't always reflect the payroll.  The difference I suppose is that you think it's obvious and not worth posting.  I thought it was worth posting because Washington is ON THE BOTTOM, which makes it particularly interesting to Washington Fans.

The last time I saw these numbers, the Rangers and the Red Wings were both way ahead of the 'Leafs...wonder if the appreciation of the Canadian dollar has anything to do with this?

Just remember this is the VALUE OF THE FRANCHISE.  Not payroll.  It includes revenues from ticket sales, concessions...quality of the venue...etc.  This is what is the determined to be the cost of the team if it was up for sale.

these kind of comments are going to change the point of the thread...if you don't like hockey - don't comment.  Thanks.  

On the other hand if you wish to start a thread on the merits of hockey and how it is truly a man's sport and not corrupted with girlie rules to prevent anyone from getting "hurt"...you may certainly do so.   8)

While I like baseball, it is one of the pansiest sports out there. Think about it: If it rains you don't play, you only play in the summer, you can rest whenever you want, etc etc

Hockey > baseball, if only because it actually requires physical contact with another person.

Honestly, I do like hockey, but baseball is my love.  I just think hockey has too much contact, and not enough strategy.  Now, I'm not saying I'd rather be a hockey player; they are the toughest around.

People who don't follow hockey don't see the strategy involved. It's way more strategic that people think - this is coming from someone who play its almost everyday.

I think a lot of people can't connect with Hockey because it's not remotely close to being something they could do.  Most people can throw a ball or shoot some hoops, but most people can't ice skate worth a damn, much less swing a stick and knock a puck around whilst doing so.

Are intangibles factored in?  I mean, when you value an ongoing business enterprise, you include things like "goodwill" and intellectual property values and things like that.  I am sure "original six" franchises have a lot more of this intangible value than, say, the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Interesting question...the Habs and Bruins certainly have a lot more historical value than the Sunbelt Sweaty Dogs, but that kind of thing inherently defies valuation.  Merchandise sales don't really reflect that either.  Market valuation of sports teams is an especially fuzzy area, since there are probably more people willing to support unprofitable but storied "trophy" teams than other types of businesses.

I agree 100% My friends and I just started playing regularly again. But the people who never give hockey a chance (which is most people) don't see how good the game actually is. It's my favorite sport to play and watch by far (Sorry guys).
