Speculation: So who takes over the Wirtz Corporation? Given the family history, I'm not sure Danny is a lock.

Unless he paid pennies on the dollar for it this is dumb.

If the Blackhawks start their own network they are dumb. Unless it's like 5.99 a month, which it won't be, nobody is going to pay a premium for hockey when you can find streams online for free.

With Kick now a huge entity, every game is currently streamed in HD for free. Good luck

What the f*** are you even talking about?

I think he paid zero pennies on the dollar for it.

If Danny takes whole company then there might be new face in day to day Blackhawks.

Was Danny that much involved in the day to day anyways? AFAIK he will have the same role as Rocky, and he wasn't that much involved in the day to day was he?

I wouldn't be shocked to see the Blackhawks team up with the Cubs and put games on Marquee once their NBC Sports deal is up and have the White Sox/Bulls break off and do their own things, maybe with Reinsdorf's Stadium network. What I would like to see is putting games over the air again like the Golden Knights are doing. There's obviously a hard cap so the only reason to not do the fan-friendly thing and get games back on WGN or another antenna channel is money into their pockets.

Lol KB is short circuiting without anything to complain about.

I would. Bulls & Hawks are still attached at the hip, Reinsdorf and the Wirtz family have a very close relationship. Believe Wirtz Corp. got some equity in the Bulls back for funding more of the UC.
