SPORT-SCAN, INC. 941-284-4129 1180538 Anaheim Ducks Kings ranked 6th, Ducks ranked 23rd in Forbes’ annual values of NHL franchises By ELLIOTT TEAFORD | [email protected] | Orange County Register The Kings were ranked sixth in Forbes’ annual list of the values of NHL teams at $825 million, and the Ducks were 23rd at $460 million, down 3% and 4% over 2019, respectively, according to figures posted by the magazine on its website Wednesday. Overall, the league’s 31 franchises dropped in value for the first time in two decades because of the coronavirus pandemic. None of the teams gained in value over last year, although several maintained their value, including the top five, led by the New York Rangers at $1.65 billion. The Rangers, Toronto Maple Leafs ($1.5 billion), Montreal Canadiens ($1.34 billion), Chicago Blackhawks ($1.085 billion) and Boston Bruins ($1 billion) were the only teams valued at $1 billion or more. The Arizona Coyotes were the league’s least-valued club at $285 million, down 5%. Forbes’ methodology is based on enterprise values (equity plus net debt) and relies heavily on arena revenue and cable TV deals. Eight of the top 10 teams play in arenas that are home to NBA franchises, including Staples Center, which is home to the Kings, Lakers and Clippers. No mention was made of the plans by Ducks owners Henry and Susan Samueli to develop the land around Honda Center into a $3 billion mixed- use entertainment project known as OC Vibe. The development will be similar to L.A. Live, adjacent to Staples Center, only larger. It’s scheduled to be open to the public in 2024. Success on the ice had little to do with the rankings. The Stanley Cup champion Tampa Bay Lightning were 21st-ranked ($470 million). The Kings’ revenue was $171 million with operating income of $45 million. The Ducks’ revenue was $119 million with operating losses of $9.1 million. Neither the Kings nor the Ducks advanced to the playoffs in 2019-20 or 2018-19. The New York Islanders lost a league-high $37.9 million, but were ranked 16th at $520 million based exclusively on their move into a new arena near Belmont Park in 2021-22 after splitting time in recent seasons at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn and the former Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. Orange County Register: LOADED: 12.10.2020 1180539 Anaheim Ducks you don’t re-sign him ahead of the expansion draft, you can leave him exposed. If Seattle GM Ron Francis were to make the highly unlikely choice of claiming him, Getzlaf can simply ignore any attempt to sign him Seattle Kraken expansion mock draft 5.0: Who could the Ducks lose? and double back to Anaheim when free agency opens. And that would be a wasted move by the Kraken. Expose him. San Jose did that with Joe Thornton in 2017. Just be sure to By Eric Stephens Dec 9, 2020 18 explain that to Getzlaf and make sure it’s just business and nothing more. You’re going to need that protection spot.
