Though if the CPL could even get just a game of the week type agreement with either TSN or Sportsnet, it would be a big boon.

Well not literal gaps in the schedule, but gaps in terms of rights that they've lost over the years. With 5 channels, a streaming platform, etc. they've got enough capacity to take on something like this and could probably still put a lumberjack contest on TSN5 is anyone actually watches those.
They lost NHL years ago, but it is still relevant because Sportsnet is all-in on hockey, and I personally can't see them taking on CanPL.
