I think it would suck if it ends up on TSN and ultimately I think the NHL will be worse off in the long run. TSN is a niche channel that I love as a sports junky but my wife never stops on and a lot of my family don't even subscribe to.

I also made the argument a few years ago in one of these threads (also complete with a few policitcally partisan comments) that the CBC has played a major role in hockey having the profile it does in Canada today, would be a shame to see that relationship between them and the NHL end.
