Sportsnet has good PBP announcers besides Hughson. There's Rick Ball and John Shorthouse who do call national games.

Rogers did get the Brinks there first and tried very hard to get James Duthie, but, Duthie was very clear in that he wanted to remain with Bell and TSN no matter how much money Rogers would throw his way. From what I've heard, Miller enjoys calling the World Juniors and the odd CFL game which TSN owns in addition to the TSN NHL regional games. Bell allows him to work in the USA and do PBP NHL games for NBCSN.
