The Flames will actually be on more national broadcasts. Canadian teams will be compensated for losing regional broadcasts.
But make no mistake, when you see how ambitious Sportsnet's schedule is -- particularly on Saturdays -- they're going to have to invest heavily to ensure that they reach a high standard of quality across the high number of games they'll be carrying.
Being able to hire the CBC production staff will help a lot.
