Wow that's surprising thought the Leafs would the most valueable franchise again.

conclusions from this list:

- Wings are (again :( ) worth the least from all Original 6 franchises

- the league wants 500 mill expansion fee yet only 11 teams are worth more than 500 mill, 6 of them being original 6 teams. Dream some more NHL..

- with the exception of the Habs all Canadian teams lost some value (very surprising)

- surprised that the Pens aren't worth more with that much talent

Canadian teams lost value because the Canadian dollar is low

Canadian dollar is in the toilet, so that's to be expected.

To me the disturbing part is not the valuation but the operating profit. Only $3.7M on revenue of $135M is a pitiful return that does not bode well for selling the team when the time comes. Mike Illitch (and family) has been a very generous and indulgent owner. Hope we continue to have one of those in the future.

Mr. I is the best owner in all of sports the amount of money he is willing to spend in order to get his teams to the desired land is just unbelievable.

But you are right that revenue number is very low. That being said an Original 6 franchise will always sell well because the following is there it the question is will the buyer go the extra mile and even beyond that to bring the cup back...and judging by some owners in the NHL a lot aren't
