How are the Leafs supposed to make more money when they were already sold out and selling plenty of jerseys while sucking for the last 10 years?

Wait until they win the cup


Cup replicas could be sold for a couple of hundred a pop

Yeah, he's never been an outstanding goalscorer.... but he can make everyone at the ice play at his speed and control play as well as anybody in the past decade not named Crosby.

From ratings when all the casual fans that jumped ship over the last 10 years become Leafs fans again, from coast to coast.

He's ridiculous. When living in Cali I managed to get down for about half a dozen games at the SAP, and he was an absolute joy to watch. He was basically like the conductor to the orchestra, and everyone else did what he wanted (especially in the Leafs game )...

Close to best passer ever imo. Even detrimentally so at times.

It's weird to think that the Thornton's, Sedin's, Spezza's type of big, slowish puck possession centre is being phased out.

Only 50 percent of the GTA has a Matthew's jersey. Theres room to improve that and make more money

I think they made more money off one playoff game alone than the Panthers did all season.

Heck, I bet Maple Leafs Square pulled in more money alone

You shouldn't be too quick to write that kid off....

Hanifin was my pick back then though.

Playoffs and a great team creates way more revenue. More jersey/tshirts/hats etc, gate revenue, concession revenue, marketing revenue etc etc.

its a lot more money. Ever tried to buy a Blue Jays shirt in October? At least in Ontario they are all sold out. Playoffs generate a lot of money for big market teams.
