Do you really think future TV deals are going to be significantly higher? Early returns on the Rogers deal are that it doesn't look so hot for them. MLS is only going to continue to grow in popularity and there's only so much disposable income to go around (and only so much time to watch time to watch sports on tv).
I think there's a very good chance we will be talking about the NHL as a distant 5th in the big 5 within 20 years.

I can't predict the TV deal at all, except to say no one thought they could get as good a deal as they did, but they pulled it off.
I don't think MLS is going to have the impact that you do. Of course, I have no basis for that opinion, having not looked at their trends. In Canada anyway, my soccer watching friends are not into MLS at all - its all Premier and La Liga.
