Watching the draft abroad

[icarus]

Sorry to start a new thread but this is important: does anyone know how I can watch the draft, as I am outside of North America (UK)?

I checked Premier Sports, who broadcasts NHL games in the UK and to whom I subscribe--they're not showing it.

I checked NHL Gamecenter, to which I also subscribe--as far as I can tell from its byzantine website, they're also not streaming it.

Would the Canadian or American broadcast rights holders stream it online, and would it be available abroad?

Failing that, if there are no legal avenues to watch the draft if anyone has other ideas, PM me (hint, hint).

Help me CP-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.

Who is broadcasting this year? TSN always geo-locked their draft and trade deadline streams, but they are not broadcasting it this year right? If it's on Sportsnet, then we are lucky because they usually don't geo-lock that stuff.

Sportsnet has it. I too am wondering if they'll stream it online. NBCSN in the USA, so I doubt that will be streamable for us.

If worse comes to worse where you cannot find a live tv stream, try streaming audio from Sportnet Radio stations. At least you can hear it as it comes down.

Is there a link?

I found something called Sportsnet Now on their page but when I clicked it, it reads:

"Sportsnet Now is not available in your region."

Wonder if there will be a stream on NHL.com?

That would be nice!

But if you can figure out from the website in advance whether this will be the case you are a better man than I.

I'm struggling to find it as well.
