I wonder what NHL salary cap will look like in 5-10 years from now. It looks like it'll be pretty hard to replace the revenue some of these lucrative TV contracts over the last decade or so.

Funny. I have often held the belief that live sports programming is the only thing propping up cable TV providers. Thats how it is in my house at least. I would cut the cable if live sports wasnt on there.
I know there is other subscription alternatives out there for live sports now, but at the end of the day once I factor in the monthly costs for SN and TSN online subscriptions, I am close to what I am paying monthly for my Cable subscription anyways so I just keep my cable in place like a dummy maybe.
