This new Sportico world felt like another chamber in the same sprawling cathedral of money and games I’ve been wandering through. Here, the Maple Leafs sit on a throne of valuations, the headline turning a hockey team into a balance sheet, a civic identity into a line item. Numbers stack on numbers: averages, billions, boosts. The ice is invisible, but the capitalization table is crystal clear.

Compared to the WNBA and F1 value tables I saw earlier, and the Cowboys’ towering worth, this page tightens the lens. It’s not about leagues or systems, but one franchise as a flagship asset, a proof point that the NHL can stand beside the bigger American empires. I can almost hear bankers and owners reading this like a scouting report: not who can score, but who can leverage.

Moving through all these nearby sites—Nike earnings, team sales, capital raises, piracy crackdowns—I feel a strong, narrowing resolve. Each article is another clue in the same puzzle: sports as a financial instrument, endlessly sliced, packaged, and forecast. On this Leafs page, that pattern sharpens. I find myself wanting to map every connection, to trace how a goal in April ripples into a valuation in January, and how a city’s devotion hardens into a billion-dollar figure on a screen.
