IIRC, they went and did the Anaheim/Phoenix Game 7 in the early 2000s. Perhaps it didn't make business sense but CBC have never ever taken a hockey feed off of someone else.

Apples and Oranges. Having a full crew ready to work a playoff game, having that game not happen and throwing that crew at another playoff game where ratings are much higher than regular season games between American teams is not even close to this guys idea of putting a crew together and sending them down to broadcast regular season games between American teams at a huge cost instead of just using the already existing American broadcast.
