I thought this was an increasing topic to think about. Forbes 2024 list had the Coyotes valued at 500 million, Sportico valued the team at around 650 million, and Roustian had them at around 1.1 billion.
It is safe to say that as fans, they were probably worth between 400 to 700 million give or take who's buying and the arena situation. However, since the NHL came in and bought them for 1 billion and sold them to Ryan Smith for 1.2 billion, that is way more than the way a lot of these independent parties valued the Coyotes, so will this increase the valuation of other NHL teams because an owner could say, "hey Coyotes went for 1 billion, then my "x" team is worth 3-4 billion" quite easily. Or would you consider this a special case and does nothing to help the rest of the franchises?
