Whatever $$ the NHL is sending back to Canadian TV they will still be sending back a lot after a fanless tournament.
Going forward the Canadian teams are not going to contribute their fair share to the league with a 70 cent dollar. With a big USD tv contract spread around the league then the Flames and Oilers and Jets and Senators might be viable in a Green Bay Packer sort of way.

So what’s your suggestion for getting a big US television deal with the current circumstances? And what’s your plan for replacing the lost money from the current TV deal if they don’t finish out the year?
I don’t know what TV ratings in Canada will be but I suspect Rogers is eager for the programming.
