I wonder if Vancouver have any future plans to build a new arena. The 26 year  Rogers Arena is already looking dated and in need of an upgrade 

Rogers arena isn't that bad.

 

Decent acoustics and there isn't a bad seat in the house.

 

The jumbo tron and perimeter screens and stanchion lights are all pretty modern.

 

Canucks went through a big renovation to their locker room about 10 years ago and it was state of the art at the time.

 

It's got lots of good years left in her

When they value the franchises they likely consider revenue, physical plant and potential value if put on the market. How is the NHL viewed as a player in the NA sports market? The deal that Bettman got for USA broadcast rights suggest the NHL is on a upswing. That likely benefits American franchises more but the Canadian clubs benefit as well. I think the Canucks are in good shape considering the fallout from Covid.

It is strange how much for many franchises is related to in ice product. When we had the Sedins and we’re doing well we were valued around 6th if I remember correctly. Now after 8 years of Benning, middle of the pack. 
Obviously some teams like Leafs, Habs, NYR are not so much based on how the team is doing. 
The Oilers as said above likely has more to do with the new building, McDavid and guaranteed first overall when have a losing season.

I remember when GM Place was considered one of the best in the league. But the location and the concrete probably isn't worn out. It will get renovated. I bet we play in there for 20 more years+. It wasn't like Rexall Place which wasn't even downtown and sucked.

 

The Pacific Coliseum was built in 1968. The Canucks moved out after it was 27 years old. GM Place/Rogers is 24 years old now. So who knows. Maybe 20+ years is an over estimation
