Each year ESPN The Magazine releases its Ultimate Standings; and once again the Toronto Maple Leafs are ranked 121st out 122 professional sports teams. Only the LA Clippers finished below the Leafs. The Ultimate Standings, driven by research and fan feedback, looks at MLB, NBA, NFL and NHL franchises’ affordability, bang for the buck, coaching, fan relations, ownership, players, stadium experience and title track to establish a ranking of all 122. The Toronto Raptors were ranked 113th which should come as no surprise considering MLSE owns both the Leafs and Raptors.
The Leafs were ranked 122nd in the Affordability category (price of tickets, parking and concessions) and Bang for the Buck category (wins over the past two seasons per dollar contributed directed by fans). Again this would not come as a surprise to fans in Toronto. Despite what MLSE tells us, we know we aren't getting value for our money.
