we need another lockout

The NHL's Most Valuable Teams - Forbes

Another small market team, the Jets, are now worth $340 million, twice what True North Sports & Entertainment paid to rescue the franchise from Atlanta two years ago

It is the hill we will die on, jstew...Apparently, the 30 patients seem to have recovered quite well.

Ive heard it said before but Sekeres and Price said today there will be a "Sunday night hockey" package on Snet or TSN

Canada will soon be bringing the NHL more wealth. The league’s six-year, $600 million television deal with CBC, which includes Hockey Night in Canada, expires after this season. The renewal of that deal will likely see CBC share some games with TSN or Rogers Sportsnet, and go for around $200 million a season, surpassing the 10-year, $187 million a season national broadcast agreement the NHL has with NBC Sports that began with the 2011-12 season. Such a deal would mean a bigger increase in revenue for Canadian teams because even though 65% of they money will go to the 23 U.S. franchises, on a per-team basis the seven Canadian franchises will get almost double the amount of their American rivals.

So would CBC have HNIC every Saturday night or what? How would that whole thing work?

Looks like the CBC has locked up HNIC for another decade - That sound you hear from Buffalo is Bossman scaring the neighbo(u)rs with screams of delight.

I'm not watching another HNIC telecast until they bring back Mark Lee and give him PJ Stock as his colo(u)r analyst and Glen Healy between the benches.
/Well, that and the fact I doubt we'll be getting a local CBC affiliate here anytime soon.

With Healy and Stock you probably named the two worst guys on the broadcasts.

Would the Sunday Night games be mostly Canadian teams or will it be everyone around the league?

I assume they would still feature at least one Canadian team (they don't necessarily have to be the home team mind you).

I want to know a little more about how "Operating Income" is calculated.

Because four years ago the Blue Jackets were "losing" 10 million a year. Now, ownership of the arena is public and they are spending way more money in salary and now they are "making" almost 7 mil per year?

That's some good snake oil you are selling there...

 

[BlueWolfZero]

All of this pretty much guarantees there will be a second Toronto area team in the near future, doesn't it?

 

[Cobiemonster]

Uh-oh, I think TSN might be the odd man out here

Yep. It looks like CBC and Rogers are the two that are going to win this. What a potential death blow to TSN

TSN has been puppets to ESPN lately, it seems

I'm curious how Sportsnet will televise their games - I'm guessing they'd do Wednesday night games like TSN has done? And the Sunday night games that they want to do too

At least 10 more years of Mark Lee and obtuse angles. Oh goody.

This is true. They and CTV have been bending over and kowtowing to NBC and ESPN in their coverage of things like hockey far too much in the last few years, even pimping out their broadcasters to their networks. Sportsnet is much more of a Canada first network and wanting to do their own thing.

Peter Loubardias thinks that is sum kinda good deal...

 

[Cobiemonster]

I know it's not good for TSN and for those who love TSN, but as I said before, TSN has been bending over for ESPN and they've worked together - I think with channels that are truly into Hockey and not having other networks/alliances that are having them bend over, in the long run that will be good for the league and for the broadcasts - Sportsnet will not have other networks making them bend over, those two channels will be completely into Hockey and fully invested into it
