In case anyone questions the value of the Canadian market and the revenue we bring to the league:
Broadcast rights for a CDN franchise are worth $91M/year
Broadcast rights for a US franchise are worth $24M/year
Canadian broadcast rights are worth $16 per capita. American is worth $1.76 per capita.
It is unfortunate the deal is in USD to protect the NHL from CAD fluctuations.
