More NHL Offseason: | | | The organization truly is a juggernaut in the game of hockey. Despite the fact that the club is the owner of the longest Stanley Cup drought in the NHL today with the last title coming in 1967, they remain the leagues most valuable franchise. According to Forbes.com, the Maple Leafs are the 26th most valuable team in all of sports at an estimated worth of $1.15 billion. , it has only been since 2005 that Toronto became the leagues most valuable team. The club has only continued to increase in worth since Deng Gak Jersey .The Maple Leafs are now co-owned by Bell Canada and Rogers Communications, which acquired a majority stake in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment in 2012 for $1.32 billion. MLSE also includes the Toronto Raptors of the NBA, Toronto Kameron McGusty Jersey FC of MLS and the AHLs Toronto Marlies under its umbrella, but the most valuable property by far is the Maple Leafs.Maple Leafs According to Forbes, the top three most valuable teams in the world are Spanish soccer clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona, and English soccer club Manchester United. The most valuable American sports team is the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball, while 30 of the top 50 entries come from the National Football League led by the Dallas Cowboys.The Maple Leafs are the NHLs only representative on the list, ahead of several NFL clubs including the Pittsburgh Steelers and Seattle Seahawks, among others, the NBAs Chicago Bulls, MLBs San Francisco Giants, and world famous soccer clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City. :Forbes has valued teams in the major sports leagues since 1998.

The top 50 list is based on our published valuations for the NFL, NHL, NBA, MLB, Nascar and soccer over the past year, which Miami Hurricanes Jersey were all before the proposed Clippers sale. The average team in the top 50 is worth $1.34 billion, up 8% over last year. There are 38 teams worth $1 billion versus 33 last year.

Theyve made the playoffs just once in the last nine years. The NHLs salary cap obviously levels the playing field when it comes to attracting free agents and building sustainable rosters, which makes it more challenging for a valuable team like the Leafs for the product to mirror the money coming in. That said, they should be making more of an effort to earn the money theyre making by putting an annual contender on the ice. Easier said than Willie Herenton Jersey done, but making that $1.15 billion go to work on the ice probably would do the hearts of the Toronto faithful some good.
