MLB has the Apple TV friday deal and some different national partners already.
NBA was separating out their major national deals too.
My guess is on the next rights deal you see the NHL sell Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday night national packages separately.
And I think we start to see Apple, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and the other streaming companies start to take much bigger pieces of these sports content deals in the next rights cycle.

It's the right way to do things, instead of having 1 or 2 carriers. You get more content, its diverse, and games don't overlap into each other or toggling through 50 useless channels.
Hopefully it leads to stuff that like that HBO special for the Winter Festival games.
I think Netflix bought WWE Monday Night Raw.
