I'm familiar, check the sig.
Anyways, I dont necessarily see it that way.
The value of most NHL Franchises rests on their brand and I dont think they'd be willing to sacrifice the team logo for a major sponsor.
It seems more likely to me that they would agree to one or two middle-range sponsors with small logos instead.
Either way, it seems much ado about nothing. I imagine that they'd want to put sponsor logos into the ice before they put them on jerseys.
