The salary cap is rising in the NHL. It’s a sign that the league is healthy, and of necessity, it also means that teams are increasing in value. This is the case every year, but since the end of the pandemic, it’s been pretty obvious.And now, this morning, Sportico has released its classic ranking of the most valuable teams.
What’s crazy is to note that the Canadiens have increased in value by 13% in one year. Last year, it wasn’t in the $3 billion club with the Maple Leafs and Rangers, but this year, with a value of $3.3 billion, it is. content-ads]In effect, the franchise has doubled in value in four years. After all, in 2021, the Montreal club was worth $1.58 billion. And now? $3.3 B. The Maple Leafs were $2 billion in 2021. And in 2025? 4.25. It’s really hard to believe that a city like the Nordiques, in today’s market, will be able to bring an NHL hockey club back to the Québécois capital. We already suspected it, you might say… but here’s more proof. Even the Blue Jackets, who are at the bottom of the ladder, are worth $1.3 billion. These amounts are a reminder of what a different planet sports is, and the contract of Kirill Kaprizov, who got $17 million a year even though he broke the 100-point barrier only once in his career, is a damn good example. spacer title=’Overtime’]- For those interested,
