^not really. Common wisdom in the US is that the big market teams draw the most viewers. MLB, NBA, NFL all feature a regular rotation of the largest market teams as well. MLB coverage on Fox and ESPN is even more extreme than NHL coverage on NBC.

Ok not on NBC right away but to not even feature them on NBCSN just because they don't play for a big team is crazy.
NBC Sports has a mandate to earn a profit on the investment made. "Sacrificing" is not in the equation, and it never will be.
