Rogers is not going to go back to purely regional rights, but they also are not going to blow their load like they did last time to have exclusivity. I think Bell will be the one to have the most value in the new deal; exclusive rights for Saturday's/HNIC, majority (or all) of out of market game rights/steaming. But Rogers would likely fork over enough dough to have the Stanley Cup Final alternate between the two networks annually.

Yup.
They will split up the rights this time as that's how you maximize the profit (and how the NFL has done it forever).
You will some nights split between TSN/Bell and Sportsnet/Rogers for sure...maybe a third company too.
