Edler's Mind Tricks Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 We are the fourth most valuable team in the league according to Forbes, and we have a ridiculous amount of growth compared to last year. Our valuation grew by over 100%! I believe this is the highest the Canucks have ever ranked. Mike GIllis and the ownership are doing something right, at least! We do have the largest scouting staff in the NHL as well as a sleep doctor and other rumoured things, so it seems that Aquilinis will use their money whenever it will make a difference. http://www.forbes.com/nhl-valuations/list/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sam13371337 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 what a waste. We were poor during the era's when money made a difference and you could buy cups.. now that were rich, Bettman wants artificial "parity" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spook007 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Good to know that the present down turn hasn't anything to do with the owners lack of support. Hopefully we can get a much needed change in fortunes on the ice soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That the Vancouver owners can line their pockets and celebrate the appreciation of their asset? And why would you care? It's not money out of or into your pocket.

Warhippy Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I wonder if this has anything to do with the upcoming gouging of the fans for the "outdoor" winter classic. Promises to line some serious pockets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Something is totally wrong with the growth. Our evaluation grew the most out of any team at 105% we were valued at 342 million last year now at 700 million. The next highest is San Jose at 82%. There must be some wrong math involved or a change in the way the evaluation is calculated. Edit: Comets Purchase is why we grew so much factored in with our own growth.

Del Rio Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Raising ticket prices and our team has dropped play past few years, yet the team only made more money and grew even larger.... For fans thinking they will start to lose money and fans resulting in lowering ticket prices, ain't happening anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronalds.Kenins41 Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 My guess is the purchase of the Comets has a lot to do with that. Ok that makes much more sense. That's why it essentially doubled, first of all the growth of the canucks evaluation and the purchase of the comets. Makes much more sense.

hudson bay rules Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 The Comets value can't be very high. I'm thinking >20 million but dunno. They don't own the building. The Blue Jackets are only worth 175 m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giant Inflatable Beaver Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 For those not familar with accounting and valuations, the real reason the growth is so much higher than every other team in the league is due to the Aquilini divorce settlement. When the case was going on, Acquilini's applicable assets were required to be completely brought up to date to their fair market values (with exceptions on certain financial assets), but essentially, Forbes was able to use the figures from this settlement for Aquilini's Canucks related assets such as the team itself, rogers arena, team store, etc. This resulted in the most up to date value of the Canucks being used (about 700 mil). If you look at other teams who have had large corporate transactions and required fully up to date valuations on their team assets, you'd likely see a similar trend in growth from one year to the next. I think if you look at the Toronto Maple Leafs prior to the recent purchase of MLSE, their valuation was quite a bit below 1 billion. According to Forbes, it is over a billion this year. EDIT: For the leafs, their 2011 valuation according to Forbes was $521 million. Their 2012 Forbes valuation, taking into account the bringing up to date of MLSE assets to FMV for the sale (as was similarly done with the Aquilini's divorce settlement), set their value at one billion. A bit less than a 100% increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 A bit different than last years. St Lou was last and more teams were losing money. I wonder why we are rated higher than Chicago or Boston, who have bigger markets (which in theory provides more chance of growth) and both have higher revenue and profits according to this chart? Perhaps because we did it on the basis of little or no play off revenue?? edit: looks so different because all the revenue and profit figures are based on the lockout shortened season...
