I'm aware that NHL is not in any position to dictate the terms right now. But we're discussing a way that NHL can adapt to reduce piracy. Obviously the methods discussed in this thread isn't something that can change overnight.

The only parties that would be on board with this idiotic idea are the ones who want everything for free. But I'm sure that alienating your broadcast partners and a significant number of your franchises would be a small price to pay in order to make the cheapskates happy.

That's purely your opinion. I bet that if the idea was done right and implemented appropriately, other parties would get on board as well. It could also lead to higher profit and reduction in piracy. It's obviously gonna have to be well structured. It's not at all the same as streaming illegal stream just directly from NHL's site.
