Oh good, more years of garbage

 

[Ouroboros]

Was this factored into the recent cap projections or will this push the numbers even higher?

More blackouts I presume?

 

[Mr Kot]

12 of more Rogers?

Well, 12 more years of being a PIRATE ARRRR!

 

[Turin]

Rogers is shit

 

[DearDiary]

How are they going to make that 11 billion back, unless the plan is to resell rights to companies that the NHL can't directly contract with?

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Don’t celebrate this. The owners and players benefit here. The average Canadian is going to eat the cost indirectly.

Changing more to watch the games. Also imagine they will be changing more to companies like CBC and maybe Amazon once that contract is up.

 

[tbcwpg]

Re-selling rights has to be the plan here.

 

[Ghetty Green]

f***

 

[Five Alarm Fire]

Is the source legit?

The cap can only go up by a maximum amount each year, which I believe is 5%. I also believe the projected cap increases were already at or near the maximum amount it can increase, which will result in escrow being paid back to the players. Assuming all of that is true, then this new deal would have little to no effect on the upcoming cap projections.

I could just be wrong about all this though. That’s always a possibility.

Sportsnet keeping them for another 12 years is unbelievable They put out a terrible product

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

You gotta be f***ing kidding me.

Rogers sucks so much f***ing shit.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

At this point if Rogers is milking your money you deserve it. You are getting scammed and we are all laughing at you.

Cut the cord , make the world a better place , 24/7 hockey any league in the world any time at the tip of your fingertips.


Suckers like you make the world go round In a way I suppose....

To think Rogers will have been the exclusive national broadcaster for NHL games in Canada for nearly a quarter of a century. That's pretty impressive, shitty product and all.

Isn't that how all TV deals technically work?

 

[Leafidelity]

God that's depressing. I'm legit sad.

That's Gary Bettman for you.

Fits the NHL's MO.

Shitty refs
Shitty schedule
Shitty company for the jerseys
Shitty ideas
Shitty broadcaster (in Canada at least)

The only thing worse than Rogers having all the game is Rogers selling most of them to 10 other providers.

Not really unexpected but just the worst possible news.
