Why would they spend money on somebody like Cuthbert when Kerr will do it for a quarter of the price?

People could not watch. Hockey is religion for our age range but is it really for the kids today? If the product/broadcast is crap eyeballs will go elsewhere, advertisers will go elsewhere and it'll go bankrupt.
