Careful, you're falling into the "most money is best"pit. Ask a Leafs fan (or a Cubs fan!) what they'd prefer: a team with a high (or highest) net worth, or a championship trophy.

It is part biz, part alchemy, to put together a team than wins the big game, and for better or worse, fans will suffer long and hard for the chance to one day say "we are the best." No fan has ever trotted out the "Yeah, well your team won the Grey/Stanley/Super/World/Final trophy but WE are worth more according to Forbes."

There's a reason they play the games.
