True and I continue to hope they stay on or below that cusp. But if you were the head of a network, would you give up superstars like McDavid and Draisaitl to a competing network? Not a chance.
I assume their bet is that if the Oil ever become good, the ratings will rise whereas Sportsnet may believe the Flames could be closer to the end of their window, thus ratings would likely drop. I can see the rationale if true.
