Of course, I'm just waiting for the buzzkill official report that the games will be exclusively on TruTV and some streamed on HBO Max.

600 Mil a year from ESPN and TNT.
435 Mil per year from Rogers.

What other deals do they have?

NBC just signed a massive deal to keep the NFL. It also has a TV deal with one of the soccer leagues coming up.

Something had to give and it wasn't going to be Notre Dame football.

They have other international TV deals but they aren't worth nearly as much. The Canadian TV deal runs out in 2025. That will likely get a significant boost when negotiating time comes again. My guess is they won't do an exclusive rights deal up there either, so TSN will be back in the picture in a much bigger way.

Staal 2g in 12 games -8

Another trade won

Pretty much a 3rd and a 5th for Mojo, as that’s whom we traded to Minny for Staal in the first place.

Meanwhile Mojo is going to be playoff bound again. Pretty sure the only year of his career he didn’t play in a post season was with us last year

Right?...but for those of us old farts still tied to cable, no problemo

That's big money for the NHL

Turner/TNT is the new front runner. Would rather it be Fox, but depends on how much they're willing to put into it.

Makes it easier for you to not have to change the channel. 😉

Whiles its a good boost, It still only amounts to about 32 mil per team.

That's not enough, IMO.

They need to find a way to nearly double that.

Johansson must just know how to win. Except that year he was in Buffalo or something

local TV revenues
ticket sales 41 times 18,000 times 60 a seat equals over 44 mil
Merchandise and Concession Sales
jersey sales

Interesting tidbit on Mojo, nothing more nothing less.

Good middle 6 player whom was fortunate enough to play for Washington forever and a Minnesota team that caught lightning in a bottle this season.

Wrong side of the bed this morning I presume ?

so in essence we traded mojo for 64 games from vesey and 7 games from simmonds

and those pick are going to be higher in each round

F you Botts

Nah, I was making a general comment about guys “knowing how to win”

More or less defending guys who don’t make the playoffs because their teams blow

If by any chance UPL works out

UPL
Cozens
Mitts
Bryson
Dahlin
Samuelsson

Not a bad return on drafts and Jokiharju and Thompson through trade. Ruostolainen as a UFA

Decent amount of young, cheap talent
