That said, the team valuations mean nothing. The Senators were pegged at $655 million (per Sportico, ranked 27th), but will likely sell for over a $Billion (which would rank us 11th or better). I'm curious what that will do to the valuations of all other franchises.

The reported bids on the Sens ($1 billion) which is well over their estimated value in Forbes and Sportric is likely tied to the assumed real estate deal that may be consummated with Lebroton Flats and the potential profits that can extracted from the additional developments. If the sens were building a new arena in an area surrounded by built-up areas I would think the team sells for $650- $800 million - their actual estimated worth.
Given the potential real estate involved, I'm not sure if other NHL franchises values will be affected to any great degree.
