Down in the States, the move to ESPN was one of the best things that's happened. I was worried at first because the NHL killed their NHL.tv product and I didn't think the ESPN replacement would be good. Turns out, it just saved me a couple hundred bucks a year because all the non-local NHL games come for free with Disney+/ ESPN+ which I already had through Hulu. The streams are significantly more reliable and higher frame rate than NHL.tv.
Long story short, at least in the States, the NHL product value is essentially that of a free pack in on your existing streaming product. Sad, but the end result has been great quality streams.
