Report by Elliotte Friedman confirms Tampa Bay Lightning NHL team have been sold
The Tampa Bay Lightning are reportedly on the market for a record-breaking $2 billion, according to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.
This valuation underscores the team's tremendous success and growing value, including multiple Stanley Cup championships over the past decade. The current ownership group, led by Vinik Sports Group, wants to expand its ownership base but assures fans that there will be no immediate changes to the team's day-to-day operations or management.
Sportico estimated the Lightning's value at $1.2 billion earlier this year, highlighting a significant increase in NHL franchise values. Despite controversies surrounding NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman, the soaring prices of teams reflect a robust market for NHL franchises.
