Around the NHL 2024/25

This post was awesome to see

Glad he got the help from whatever he was facing and is back in the nhl

Nothing but respect for people who take their mental health seriously. As someone who has struggled with it off and on it's nice to see.

Buffalo loses 7 straight. Buffalo, Detroit and Ottawa continuing their perpetual rebuild. Not looking forward to that era of Jets hockey.

I doubt that they'll ever tear it down like that here (based on Chipman's comments last year)

It's tough when no one wants you, well not a your price

Bell selling TSN?

Probably getting out before the cable sports market crashes. I think they can keep the main event programming on CTV, and move more towards streaming. Are the production costs of live sports worth their revenues? Divesting in the Leafs might mean liquidity issues. Who would buy TSN? American carriers?

I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Corus pick up the Jets if Bell walks away from them. As an old time CKND watcher, when the games were a lot more scarce.

I think Chipman and Chevy will do whatever they can, to avoid a true rebuild. The building would be 1/2 full every night is we were on year 14 of the rebuild, continually cycling through high draft picks and going no where like Buffalo.

I have no idea what the Canadian regulations would be but ESPN own 20% of TSN maybe them or rather the Disney Corp would be interested.

Corus' share values are in the negative value range...

And when Trudeau "retires" the payments to media will be stopped...

So Corus is in no position to buy the Jets... maybe a lemonade stand...

Other Toronto business interests maybe... It is the Toronto Sports Network after all...

Losing their share in the Leafs and Raptors though is not a play on Toronto. Just means Rogers have the 3 big fish in the Big Smoke now. Regional NHL rights hardly justifies paying all the personalities. CFL and World Juniors are probably the two biggest assets TSN has. RDS does well with Canadiens, which Bell has a share in.

I just wonder who would fill the TV void if Bell sells TSN to Americans. Don't think ESPN would put in the production for Jets broadcasts, they'd just show more Rangers in all likelihood.

It wouldn't be good for Winnipeg fans thats for sure...

US companies cannot own Canadian broadcast licences.

Until the next government.

I sure hope not. If you thought the corporatization of media on Canada was bad now...

Is this real? 65?

I guess he's getting the non nhl player number, makes sense

Apparently, his parents were both born in '65.

Good, maybe a smaller company will give it the attention it deserves instead of Bell Megacorp squeezing more profit out of it every quarter .

Well I don't think 8 is available in Anaheim to anyone anymore.

US companies set up Canadian shells all the time. Probly one of them could get a licence here.

They look at ownership.

Nope. It's very clear in CRTC rules - broadcast licences can only be held by purely Canadian companies. Otherwise, the big US conglomorates would have bought Bell, Rogers and everything else in the 90's when they were totally out of control down here.
