Oh Canada: 2016 Team Values
Team Values from Forbes.com
Forbes
1. Montreal Canadiens
1.175 Billion
The Canadiens are just slightly behind the New York Rangers for the number one National Hockey League position; but good enough to be number one in the Socialist Paradise of Canada. Of course it helps to have a billion dollar plus market with no competition. Thank you, Canada! If we win or lose, we are the only NHL game in town!
2. Toronto Maple Leafs
1,150 Billion
I have to admit their new logos are absolutely first-rate for detail and design, now rivaling Montreal. They also have some new apparently very good young players. It is crucial there is not another club in the Greater Toronto Area or Hamilton, because it is philosophically obvious that a franchise valued over 1 billion USD, cannot survive or prosper with a second, smaller club in their market. Does not the empirical business of sports, evidence, looking at football and American football, support that point? Of course it helps to have a billion dollar plus market with no competition. Thank you, Canada! If we win or lose, we are the only NHL game in town!
3. Toronto Raptors
980 Million
I am not a basketball fan, but I have to admit, to be ranked third in this country with a basketball club is impressive. Also, compliments on the new more traditional looking logo.
4. Toronto Blue Jays
900 Million
With all the publicity they receive in Canada, I thought this might be higher. I thought the Blue Jays might have moved up to number one in Canada. Dead bird wrong...
Hockey still rules.
5. Vancouver Canucks
745 Million
I said to my brother, visiting from Arizona, a few years ago. 'Vancouver might end up the worst (NHL) club in Canada'.
Brother: 'I hope not'.
I predicted a downfall after the Canucks could not at least put together a decent performance in Boston during the 2011, Stanley Cup final. This further fall, opposed to making the required changes for betterment.
6. Edmonton Oilers
455 Million
With a new arena publicized as one of the finest every built, new young players, and better defensive system and goaltending; this small market is on the way up. Past the Canucks on the ice, but not in franchise value.
7. Calgary Flames
435 Million
The news states a new arena is in the works for Calgary. I think they will be fine, with some good young players, despite using a burnt out black 'C' logo, far too often.
8. Ottawa Senators
370 Million
The Trojan condom look is not the problem. From what I read and listen to, the franchise made a huge mistake with a bad arena detail not in downtown Ottawa. This when the trend was to build new building at city core. Once the planned new arena in downtown Ottawa is built the club value will increase. In the high unlikelihood that does not happen the team will move to Quebec City, Seattle or Houston and I doubt Ottawa would receive a team again, because it is in a foreign country. But, the new arena is being planned states the media. I reason very likely this club will become a bigger club, slowly in downtown Ottawa.
9. Winnipeg Jets
350 Million
I truly believe and reason that Jets 2.0 will be better on and off the ice than Jets 1.0 and the current Arizona Coyotes.
Quebec Nordiques
I hope they return.
But, I would like to see 2-3 bigger Canadian NHL clubs created/recreated, but that is a pipe dream, it appears. Canada is a foreign NHL country and the Habs and Leafs 'would not survive or prosper' with competition.

A sign of wisdom and intelligence is knowing when one should be the teacher, and when one should be the student.

Chinese Food?

Tonight:
Musician friend: (Not Chucky, paraphrased)
'Yes, I am working on a new album with McCartney (The Beatles), McLaughlin (Mahavishnu Orchestra), Ringo (The Beatles) and Geddy (Rush).'
Satire Und Theology:
'So, you are taking care of getting the Chinese food?'
