The exact formula isn’t made public, but NHL revenue sharing is set up where teams within the top third of the league financially share revenues with the bottom two-thirds. The closer a team is to the bottom of the financial spectrum, the more they receive. The Coyotes’ plan to play at Arizona State would almost assuredly make them No. 32 in revenue. The franchise is already the least valuable in the NHL, according to rankings by both Forbes and Sportico.
“They should be excluded from revenue sharing. Why should they be rewarded?” said an executive whose team is also on the receiving end of the league’s revenue-sharing agreement. “My owner is pissed about it, other owners are pissed about it. I’m sure the players are also pissed about it.”
