moneys not really there when compared to the billions the NFL recieved EVERY year.

The street says that the NHL isn't fond of McLeans hyper-critical view of the 'new-rules'.
If the league did re-sign with CBC, it would likely reward Bell Globemedia by improving TSN's deal. It would give the cable channel more regular-season Canadian content and also a share of postseason series involving Canadian teams. Right now, the CBC has full ownership of the Canadian playoff games.
The CBC's current deal with the NHL probably includes a right of first negotiation. That means the CBC would have a window in which it could cut a new deal without facing a competing bid.
How many viewers does the NHL lose if they go cable instead of "free TV" CBC? hey I never thought Monday night football would be on cable, looks like everything sportswise is going that route.
If you recieve CBC over the air, don't you also get CTV over the air? So spill-over from Canada for those near the border shouldn't be too big a problem for any-one ?I'm not in Canada, but close enough to get the CBC over the air. HNiC and CBC are a tradition I'd like see continued. However whenever it is tradition vs $$$..........

EDIT:
Wassup with the points and why do I have 61.3 of them???
Strachan was removed because he's a Grade-A idiot, prone to inventing things on the air as they come into his head, much as he does in his newspaper column, which accordingly isn't fit to wrap fish in. He so incensed Brian Burke with one such comment that Burke demanded airtime on CBC the same night to respond, and tore a strip off Ron MacLean doing so. On a second occasion one of the other Hotstove participants (I forget if it was Davidson or Red Fisher) started taking him to task for his fictional flights of fancy and MacLean had to cut the segment off.Love Satellite Hotstove even though it's not the same without Al Strachan and takes a bigger hit without John Davidson.Strachan was removed because Gary Bettman didn't like some of the comments Strach made about the NHL during the lockout.
Man, you couldn't have gotten it more backward: Cherry's the idiot, love McLean and Al Strachan is gladly missed!I live in New York but I have been watching HNIC for nearly 10 years when the NHL Center Ice package became available.Ron McLean is an idiot.Love Don Cherry.Love Satellite Hotstove even though it's not the same without Al Strachan
It's not the same thing.People cried when CBS lost the NFL to Fox.
People gave a 'what the heck' when ABC announced that after 30 years, Monday Night Football was switching to ESPN.
Trust me Canada, you'll get over HNIC switching to TSN.

Back in the old days, the only channel you got was CBC. This has been it's staple since 1952. It has 50+ years of history.
CBC has first dibs on keeping HNIC

The NHL Canadian TV contracts won't be in place until next summer
The start of the thread says that "Bell Globemedia is willing to pay $1.4 Billion for HNIC." That is like saying that when nutbar Ted Turner gave $100 million a year for 10 years to the U.N. that he was donating a billion dollars. Depending on what discount rate you use, the current value of $140 million for 10 years would be something like 800 or 900 million dollars.
$1.4-billion
It's an eye-popping amount of money, and according to two sources, Bell Globemedia is willing to pay it over 10 years to get the rights to Hockey Night in Canada for CTV and TSN
they are messing around with my childhood, i have been watching cbc for close to 20 years i can deal with changing girlfriends but i can not deal with no hockey on channel 6 on saturday nights
