But there also is value in showing the NHL you can provide a high quality presentation. That looks good when it's time to reup the TV contracts.

you look at what TSN did for their CFL coverage once they got it. they amped up the coverage paid a lot of money for production values and threw themselves wholey and completely into building it into one of their flagship franchises.
I don't doubt that if they got the Saturday NHL games and looked at the advertising revenue that CBC got for it and they would throw a ton of money into the production of NHL games.
Plus with two TSN channels, they could literally do proper game splitting and give us more viewing options for those of us who are sick of Leaf games for the early games.
