Would they keep him on the payroll just to call the occasional Jets/Sens/Flames national game that Hughson or Randorf weren't available for? Would he want to do that?

Ball already does national games. He calls games for the opening rounds of the playoffs, so I think SN would drop Quinn for him in a heartbeat. He is already ahead in the national rotation; why would they drop one of their national guys just to hold onto a totally average broadcaster like Quinn?
On the flip side, I could see Ball moving over to TSN with the possibility of also calling CFL games. He used to do BC Lions games on TSN radio before taking the Calgary Flames gig.
