The 12 year national deal that Rogers made with the NHL has little to do with the regional deals they have with each club. Those deals are made directly between the teams and Rogers. They will up be up for renewal well before the national deal expires. I can see TSN stepping up in a big way ($$$ )when that happens - much like they did with Ottawa last year.
