paddynyc Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 https://nypost.com/2018/12/06/rangers-once-again-the-nhls-most-valuable-franchise/ For the fourth straight year, the New York Rangers are the NHL?s most valuable franchise, according to Forbes. James Dolan?s hockey team is valued at $1.55 billion, up 3 percent from 2017. The Rangers are followed by the Toronto Maple Leafs ($1.35B), the Montreal Canadiens ($1.3B), the Chicago Blackhawks ($1.05B) and the Boston Bruins ($925M) on the 31-team list. Other area teams fall at Nos. 19 (New Jersey Devils, $455M) and 22 (New York Islanders, $440M).

josh Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I didnt realize they had been edging out Toronto.
Pete Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Ripping off you’re loyal fan base has its rewards. Can't rip off the willing.
Phil Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I find this a little shocking given the Tavares to Leafs scenario, but, yeah... cool.gif
ThirtyONE Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I find this a little shocking given the Tavares to Leafs scenario, but, yeah... cool.gif Has nothing to do with the players on the team.
Phil Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Has nothing to do with the players on the team. What I mean is that Tavares to the Isles probably dramatically boosted sales of jerseys, t-shirts, etc. alone, not to mention ticket sales and sponsorships. But I guess not knowing how this fiscal year was calculated, maybe that's not factoring in?
LeetchFan Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 What I mean is that Tavares to the Isles probably dramatically boosted sales of jerseys, t-shirts, etc. alone, not to mention ticket sales and sponsorships. But I guess not knowing how this fiscal year was calculated, maybe that's not factoring in?It's the cable TV revenue gap that has closed. Toronto 10-15 years ago was getting double the NYR annually. Now, it's very close ($40 MM vs. $35 MM as I recall). NYC has a much larger population, more diverse economy, better able to keep jacking up luxury box costs. And I'm not sure that MSG has maximized cable revenue; the relationship between the NYR, MSG Network, and Dolan's other interests allows for lots of intra-company accounting rigamarole.
ThirtyONE Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 I was hoping to win the lottery and buy the Rangers at some point. I guess that dream is dead lol.
Fatfrancesa Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 Can't rip off the willing. True. Why I’m done going to games.

4EverRangerFrank Posted December 9, 2018 Posted December 9, 2018 How are the teams ranked at the bottom worth less than the entry fee to become a new franchise? Odd, no?
