Toronto Maple Leafs are officially the most valuable team in the NHL
Overall, the Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the most legendary teams in the entire history of the NHL, and that has always reflected in just how valuable the franchise is.
Every single year, Sportico comes out with valuations for all professional sports franchises. In 2024, they have done the same thing, and unsurprisingly, the numbers for the Toronto Maple Leafs are very good. Once again, the Leafs are the highest-valuated team in the entire National Hockey League.
Sportico has estimated their value at $3.66 billion. Meanwhile, the New York Rangers are a close second at $3.25 billion. The other teams in the top five include, the Montreal Canadiens, the Boston Bruins, and even the Los Angeles Kings.
When you look at the entire league, the average team is valuated at $1.8 billion which is a pretty steady rise compared to where teams have been in the past. Despite all of this, the Leafs reign supreme. There are very obvious reasons for this. Firstly, the Leafs are a team that have been around for over 100 years. They were part of the Original Six and have 13 Stanley Cups. Secondly, Toronto is one of the league's biggest markets.
When you put all of this together, you end up with a true recipe for success. Sure, it might not be as valuable as the Dallas Cowboys of the NFL. But for a hockey franchise, this is pretty significant and it won't be long before they hit the $5 billion threshold.
