They can, but they make more money taking billions from Sportsnet for a contract with all these idiotic exclusivity clauses. Make no mistake, every blackout, every botched streaming option, every low-quality feed, all comes back to Sportsnet wanting to prevent people from cutting the cord – and the NHL shrugging and taking their money.
It was shortsighted as hell when they signed the deal, and it's obviously stupid now. But they really have no choice but to go on taking the money until the contract runs out, no matter how much they piss off their audience in the meantime.
