I don't see how that can translate into the NHL getting 3 times more money.

There's probably some bump in the $100 million for nhl.tv. But it's also hard to see a full out of market package selling over $100 million worth of Peacock or ESPN+ subscriptions.

It would be more attractive if it included all in market games, but that would step very heavily on the (for now) lucrative local TV deals.
Volume of games is way higher on an NHL deal, though, which is a bit of an equalizer.
