How much would league revenues go up...

[deltamachine]

considering the state of the franchise and the mania that would accompany a deep playoff run? Would the projected cap increases being thrown about based on past trajectory be too conservative? I get that this is revenue generation from one team, split 31 ways and one could argue that fan interest is close to saturation anyway with the Leafs so any increase in revenues would be marginal at best, but then again, Toronto is Toronto and you couldn't get a bigger market than this.

I think we'd only see a blip if the Leafs won.
The amount of money that would be generated off Toronto Maple Leafs Stanley Cup Champions would be staggering I think.
I can't see a dozen or so playoff games moving the needle that much.

TV deals are locked in so the only beneficiary would be the ones who own them. The NHL only gets more when they negotiate a higher value deal next time.

Is playoff revenue shared?

Is playoff revenue shared?

no. playoffs revenues are all the teams.

no. playoffs revenues are all the teams.

That's what I thought - so a deep Leafs playoff run would probably not matter all that much.

I can't see extra TV revenue generated from a deep playoff run being shared either, though the particulars of such an agreement are probably already laid out iron clad in the league's TV deal agreement.
