Bell seems to be bulking up their TSN+ package, and I figure they would want to grab NHL Live from Rogers. But Amazon is prime for streaming. So they got a strong contender for that now. Or maybe someone like Google will come in to take that since they're also in the game too.
Streaming is the main grab these days, so I'm intrigued to see how that plays out.

From a cost and tech point of view, if Amazon got the out-of-market games that would be the big win for us consumers. Much like ESPN Plus in the U.S. where they can get out-of-market games plus everything else ESPN+ offers for like $5.99 a month, to get NHL games as part of Amazon Prime and everything else that comes with it would be a pretty massive win.
