It's kind of a fools errand guessing at what franchises will sell for. The hurricanes recently sold for a lot more than their Forbes valuation. Regardless, a lot of the owners bought in for 16M in 1980 and I believe Edwards got in for 40M, so whatever value you place on an NHL franchise all these guys have made at least an order of magnitude on their original investment.
Why do people have the impression there is some kind of queue for relocation?
There's no priority waiting list. The coyotes were the team that was going to move to Winnipeg right up until the moment they weren't.
