@TSNBobMcKenzie:

Pains me to report this, but NHL closing in on landmark CDN TV deal with two CDN networks. Many years (10+), many billions. #overandout

If TSN is out, it'd be a sea change for the way the sport is covered in Canada—its resources are second to none, and it employs the biggest names in the game. The implication from McKenzie—and again, it's a heavy one—is that Sportsnet would air games on cable, and CBC would continue its public, iconic "Hockey Night in Canada" broadcasts. The two would split the postseason.

A report by Chris Botta of SportsBusiness Journal, a sister publication of Sporting News, said that TSN was dragging its feet in the negotiations, which are expected to net the NHL more than $350 million annually.

Wonder if any of those guys come over full time in the US?

If NBCSN wanted to up its share of coverage, now would be the time

Would love to see guys like Dreger and McKenzie on NHL Live or anything on NBCSPN.

I would love to see Bob McKenzie come on NBCSN - he's a guest on NHL live sometimes

Wouldn't shock me to see NBCSN poach some of TSN's guys. Hell, it beats bringing in you own people or trying something original, something NBC can't seem to do.

Rogers owns the world now.
The TSN guys will either stay or jump ship.
Rogers plans on using multiple channels
