Because Lowe long ago told Sportsnet long ago to market him as much as possible, or he will leave and get hidden in the US like Crosby has been.
Lowe also told and promised McDavid he will get networks to pump his tires and make Canada's biggest star. It's why Sportsnet had John Shannon doing regional intermission panels in the early years of McDavid and has fawned over him.
MacLean has been one of the target of Lowe "control the media" campaign for decades. Golf tourney, charity events, Ron is ways there for the Oilers. In return Lowe gets his player special attention from the media and, surprise surprise, the media votes him into the HoF 25 years after a middle of the road career on good teams.
In this tourney he doesn't have to be at all mindful of his Oilers bias in fellating McDavid and pumping up the Rogers spokesman.
