It's not that hard to figure out how it's going to work once cable inevitably dies.

NHL Game Center will be how you watch NHL hockey games. Exclusively. You'll download the Game Center app just like you do with Netflix or whatever and you'll pay your $200 for the season or something and have quality streaming.

You'll probably see a massive market correction in salaries and values of professional sports, but the appetite for Sports and normal Television isn't going to go away and people will figure out a way to capitalize on that appetite. Also NHL ratings are tiny and the NHL is a gate driven league so it should be less impacted than say Baseball.
