Forbes releases their NHL franchise valuations for 2022
On Wednesday, American-based business outlet Forbes released their annual National Hockey League franchise valuations based on the 2021-22 season.
14 of the NHL's 32 franchises have been valued at $1 billion or higher, with three more teams only $10-$40 million away from reaching that.
Forbes revealed that their methodology for the valuations are based on the following:
"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."
The New York Rangers take the top spot on Forbes' list for the eighth consecutive year, sitting at $2.2 billion USD, up 10% from last year. Second place is the Toronto Maple Leafs at $2 billion USD, an increase of 11% from 2021. Rounding out the top-three is the Montreal Canadiens who are valued at $1.85 billion USD, up 16% from 2021.
Let's take a look at the top-ten, as well as the bottom-five teams on Forbes' list.
