I feel like they'd be up there if it changes by income per year. 3 Stanley cups, along with one of the largest arenas, and now with those wins a huge fan base.

Just a thought.

As far as I know, the NHL does not actually release the numbers surrounding revenue sharing, so you'd have to speculate.

There are certain rules, however - like you can't receive revenues if your tv area population is above a certain number.

And keep in mind: the Forbes numbers are educated guesses.

Don't the Hawks have their home games on PPV?
They used to when no one showed up to the games.

I'm going to take a stab. Blackhawks, Leafs, Bruins, Canadiens, Rangers, Flyers?

Top ten revenue team are in order

NYR
Canadiens
Leafs
Hawks
Bruins
Vancouver
Flyers
Detroit
LA
Capitals


Penguins are #11, skewed by playoff success - team was in bankruptcy not long ago. If you are wondering NJ is #21

I think its if they don't have x amount of season ticket holders.

It's a bit of an amazing story - basically the owner of the team died or turned it over to his son (sons?) who started running the team properly.

I remember reading here on Hockeybuzz (and keep in mind I've only been a "member" here for 10 years) that a Chicago fan was offered seats on the glass for a game - because he had signed up to be on their junk email list.

But are their ticket prices as high and do they make as much on the local tv deals.

Just off a quick look:

Operating Income 2013/14 (rough numbers. didn't copy and paste)
Rangers: 84
Leafs: 72
Hawks: 51
Bruins: 35

There are various conditions - I'll see if I can google them up.

The funniest one I can remember is that you have to have sold a certain amount of tickets every year to qualify for revenue sharing payments. Nashville was going to fall short, so they bought a wack of tickets from themselves to qualify.

Gotta think merch sale in TO have dropped like 75%... When the Leafs are good they easily generate the most revenue.. You'd think the league would suffer when the Leafs suck but its actually the opposite.

Here's the best revenue sharing primer I can find:

Yeah, Wirtz Snr. died and Wirtz Jr. realised that certain policies such as "if they care about the team they'll pay to come" were based on somewhat flawed logic. Queue up some new local TV deals in addition to having stockpiled a few nice, high picks over the years and they were ready to breakout at just the right time...

Yeah, but I very much doubt that an Australian astrophysicist is going to come on by the pages of hockeybuzz... Frenchie knowing of me is just a happy coincidence on his part

While your statement is true, the best hockey players are generally quite smart. See list from an article on NHL.com

Wasn't there a Dr. who played for Edm?? I think i'd put him at the top of the list if the list was real.

Merchandise is a league revenue that they all share equally.

I googled those teams individually because we were talking about them. One sec, I'll check.

Edit: place I'm looking (statista if you want to check it out, but am not sure how accurate it is) says 91.3 Million.

Yeah, I took the same route on your girlfriend!

Then my point stands...

If the Leafs sell more merch its better for the league.. But they need to be good for people to buy poop..

Has anyone here actually bought a jersey in the last 5 years?


Also i feel like hatred for the Leafs is also a major money maker. Every league needs a villian.

I see your point. But I have a feeling you'll be somewhat surprised by how many people still buy stuff, when their teams are struggling.
