Again not saying it is written in there, just that you have no factual evidence it isn't and we are talking about 2 corp lawyer teams working this out.

It's bewilderingly naive to suggest that even the smallest details are not heavily deliberated on for a multi billion dollar deal.
Rogers needs to know the approximate value of the contract to them before they can agree on a deal with the NHL. To do this they will run a detailed financial model with sensitivities on the number of games they can air and the value of the advertising, merchandising, and other residuals. They will do this bed on a detailed breakdown of every team and the expected viewership and revenue.
You can be certain that if a team leaves Rogers franchise area or another fundamental decision that is in the League's have alters the financials then it automatically triggers a renegotiation.
People these are huge corporations committing significant money. They would have thought of this. It's one of the most basic manageable risks of the contract.
