The 11 teams receiving revenue sharing for '05-'06 were:
Pittsburgh
Boston
Buffalo
St. Louis
Columbus
Atlanta
Carolina
Florida
Washington
Phoenix
Nashville
Boston?
Are you sure?
Are you sure? I think it's San Jose, so the list looks like this:
Pittsburgh
Buffalo
St. Louis
Columbus
Atlanta
Carolina
Florida
Washington
Phoenix
Nashville
San Jose
Only 11 of 30 teams benefited this summer when revenue-sharing money was handed out for the first time through a system set up in the league's lockout-ending labor agreement. The Sharks were one.
They might be again in 2007. Sharks CEO Greg Jamison is projecting his team will end up in the red once more.
"We're closer than we have been," he said. "I said last year we'd lose around $7.5 million, and we did a little better. If everything goes right, I think losses will be around the $4 million mark."
The only reason why the Buffalo Sabres, Pittsburgh Penguins, San Jose Sharks and Washington Capitals posted profits last season was because of the money they received from revenue-sharing.
yes, you are correct. i had to re-read the info.
Interesting how quickly you went from "100% sure" to being absolutely wrong.
That's because he was talking to me! He knows I'm always right.
And has been pointed out 137 times here, whatever the fans (who don't own the team) think doesn't matter squat, while what the owners (who do actually own the team) think is what really matters.Imagine how bad Carolina's bottom line will be this year if they miss the playoffs.
Good thing they were moved from Hartford.
That latest list looks about right, but is there a source for it?
Thanks,

Actually, the only US markets that are excluded by the 2.5M household DMA are NY, LA, Chicago, and Philly. The Boston DMA has only 2,372,030 households.We know whom to exclude based on the CBA (TV market size): Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, NYR, NJD, NYI, Boston, LA, Anaheim, Philadelphia. Technically I don't think Dallas, Colorado, Detroit or Minnesota would meet the exclusion requirement, however since these teams rank in the top half of NHL revenues, it is not an issue. Others can correct this paragraph since I don't feel like looking up the DMA charts.

Hi GHOST.
I haven't seen one place compile the entire list, but if anyone did do it, it's probably a Canadian news source. It's purely deductive reasoning by the group here.
We know there are 11 teams based on the earlier citations.
We know whom to exclude based on the CBA (TV market size): Toronto, Montreal, Chicago, NYR, NJD, NYI, Boston, LA, Anaheim, Philadelphia. Technically I don't think Dallas, Colorado, Detroit or Minnesota would meet the exclusion requirement, however since these teams rank in the top half of NHL revenues, it is not an issue. Others can correct this paragraph since I don't feel like looking up the DMA charts.
We know none of the Canadian teams received revenue sharing due to their ranking in the top half of all NHL teams.
We also have some estimates (mainly Forbes) on what the overall NHL rank looks like (even if the exact numbers are not available).
Mark Spector of the National Post provided some numbers for gate receipts and how the teams stacked up overall in an article that has been widely discussed here (well, sort of...).
Finally, while I don't have the links, several local media reports on the Predators, Capitals, Thrashers, Penguins, Sabres, and Sharks have discussed the teams' revenue sharing receipts. We can ask the individual posters here who are familiar with their team's situation to add to the citation list.
