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).

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?

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.
