List of NHL teams by valuation

Forbes compiles the finances of all 32 NHL teams to produce an annual ranking of the best franchises in terms of valuation. The valuations are composed of the monetary worth of the sport, market, stadium deals, and brand.[1] These areas are supported by applying financial metrics such as debt and operating income to each one.[2]

The official arena of the New York Rangers, the most valuable NHL team as of the 2020–21 NHL season.

The latest ranking reported that the New York Rangers is the most valuable NHL franchise after the 2020–21 NHL season.[3] The fastest growing NHL franchise is the New York Islanders, with a 140.5% increase in valuation since the 2016–17 NHL season ($0.395 billion to $0.95 billion).[4] The Rangers have been the most valuable NHL team since the 2014–15 NHL season, totaling up to seven consecutive years.[5]

Several media outlets have referenced in related news or conducts analytic journalism when the ranking comes out, such as CBS and Bleacher Report.[6][7] The NHL has consistently published news about the rankings since the early renditions.[8][9] The report has also applied more context to NHL trends, such as the Edmonton Oilers doubling in value in just one year.[10] Particularly, the Oilers have recently been clinching the playoffs consistently that aligns well with the opening of Rogers Place and new media deals.[11][12][13]
