Speculation: Jets General Rumour, Trade, Free Agent and Waiver Speculation 15-16 (Part II)

[knorthern knight]

If you're like me and live in another province and can't get Jet's TV or don't want to pay an arm and a leg for the NHL network, that website is actually really great! Allows me to watch Jet's games at work

Hope we get some news here soon on Ladd and Buff. Would love to have both resigned. [mod]

Consider NHL GameCentre Live. It cost me $179 for the season, and I'm not a Rogers customer, so no bundle discounts. The only discount I got was an "earlybird discount" for signing up before Oct 13th. I run linux on a 7-year-old Dell Dimension 530, with Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU.

Do you have blackouts though?

As of this season, blackouts shouldn't be a problem anymore.

 

[Thorburnt]

If you can see the game on your local TSN, then the game will be unviewable, at least in your region.

The lifting of blackouts is only in the USA. I believe they will still be in effect in Canada.

Such ********.

Really? Huh. I assumed that even your little socialist country in the north would lift the blackouts after that huge lawsuit.

Which is why I continue to subscribe to the alternative. The cheaper price, greater hockey content, no delay, no blackouts, etc. are all reasons why Gamecentre needs to step up its game.

 

[lanky]

What's this alternative you speak of?

We are not the 51st state...

IIRC, the blackouts are scheduled to end here in Canada this year. In the new Canadian TV deal the Canadian teams receive a slightly larger percentage share of the monies versus U.S. teams in exchange for the Canadian teams lifting (read as selling) their local blackout rights. They were given one year grace at that time because the local restriction deals were already in-force when the deal was initially signed with Rogers.

How that applies between Rogers and TSN am unsure - given that TSN owns the Jets rights at present.

The preceding is all IIRC.

How does the national TV deal impact the regional games at all? Rogers lifted the blackouts for all national games last season but Jet games on TSN were still regionally blacked out around the country and unavailble locally on GCL.

Yes, please do tell.

 

[SLAYER]

Yes, please do tell.

He's probably talking about NHL Center Ice?

Edit: Actually, just remembered that Center Ice is through a cable / satellite provider, so probably not...

 

[GJF]

just google for "hockey streams" and you'll find something looking officially and legit enough with a .com domain.

 

[robertocarlos]

I watched the Jets on TSN. I don't remember watching Oilers,Flames, or Canucks on Sportsnet except for National games. All others were blackedout.

I'm pretty sure that there will be no change in terms of how blackouts are handled next season.

Canadian NHL teams have to give up 22 games per season to the national broadcast partner. US based teams only have to give up 15 I think. Since that leaves Canadian teams with 7 less games per season to sell regionally, they are compensated a bit more from the Canadian TV deal.

I'm not entirely sure how it works when teams are aired more often than the 22 games. I think the national partner broadcaster buys the games from the regional rights holder but I'm not entirely sure. Since Rogers would be one in the same for a lot of teams, why wouldn't they just air all their regionally held games nationally? There's obviously some restrictions in place. As much as I've searched I could never find any clear explanation on TV rights.

If you trust your anti-malware and anti-virus protection you have, this is a good site for watching most sports.

I have malwarebytes and avast and have never had a problem with this site.

No offense sir but both of which are bad antiviruses

 

[EastRiver]

Cap management could get difficult, no doubt. Its only 2 mil more than Pav. Might rethink what we need in return for Buff. All hypothetical anyway. No way Chicago is doing that deal anyway.

If we have to rethink the possible return on Buff because of Crawford that's just one more reason for me not to do that deal.

 

[FlappyGiraffe]

What do you guys think of offersheeting Huberdeau from Florida? We could move Ladd/Buff for a first, and use ours as compensation to Florida.

malwarebytes is anti-malware.

had them both for over 4 years on this computer and no problems yet..,
The difference between AVG and avast is....AVG says you are infected and avast says we have just stopped an infection.

Florida would match unless we offered way more than we would want to pay him.

Might be further ahead to offersheet Brock Nelson. NYI have cap space right now but they can see a crunch on the horizon. Maybe the threat of offersheets could lead to a trade but they would probably then trade with anybody else.

I think we'd have to add to obtain that first to replace ours. Thor might help put that offer over the top.
