It appears that Rogers made a big enough offer to cut TSN out. I'm sure we'll get more details on Tuesday.
My guess is that Rogers wanted to get the rights to the playoffs and bid so much that the League couldn't say no, and without the big money generated by the playoffs, it likely wasn't worth the money for TSN to pay for just regular season rights.
One good thing about this is that it hopefully means the end of 8:00 start times for Wednesday night home games.
