Which actually makes last season's run all the more impressive.

But teams like the Carolina Hurricanes, Phoenix Coyotes, Tampa Bay Lightning, Anaheim Ducks and Columbus Blue Jackets would still have trouble making money unless they went at least two rounds in the playoffs.
Interesting that the Blues are not included in the list of teams which would have trouble making money.

Can't wait for the Blues to move and then St. Louis will get an NBA team!

Actually, there's probably quite a few people who say that in St. Louis... :(

Some jackass on a yahoo article comment section said he expects the Blues to relocate to Quebec City. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?

I doubt it. Teh Bettman and NHL have made it clear that if you're a 1967 team or earlier that you're too old to fail.

I've read that Forbes basically pulls these numbers out of their butt.

I'm sure the Blues aren't worth much, and they may very well be worth the least, but this list is based on some made-up voodoo numbers.

You're never going to convince me that right now, the Columbus Blue Jackets are worth more money than the St. Louis Blues.

It's probably because they own their building and lot.

I was talking to my dad about this yesterday. I thought it was something like this with the Blues. Didn't Checketts make a deal to help in the short term but ultimately took away revenue down the road? Wasn't there something with the concession vendors like that too?
