I have a few thoughts about the media rights deals if the NHL does business soon:

- No more blackouts. Non-negotiable. That includes local blackouts and NHL Network exclusive games

- The NHL app (similar to NFL app) needs a way to login to your ESPN and TNT subscriptions so you can watch games in one place

- World Juniors rights need to be acquired by one of these partners

- Amazon Prime deal needs exposure to the US. Missing Thursday night Coast to Coast makes no sense to American hockey fans

- NHL needs more games on linear ESPN and ABC

- If a WBD/Paramount deal goes through NHL needs to have games on both Paramount+ and CBS

Some simple fixes go a long way. The play for the NHL should not be max revenue, but max reach. Their highest viewed games trail the NFL, NBA, and MLB significantly

Owners and League only care about $$ though. I think having a third streaming partner (Prime, Netflix, Apple TV) would also be of value in the current climate

But it’s mostly just making sure it’s easy to watch all the games in one place. That’s all fans truly care about

If the NHL #StanleyCup G1 did this well I’m thinking the Knicks-Spurs G1 will clear 20M.

Dylan Larkin was born in Michigan. He played for the NTDP in Ann Arbor. He went to University of Michigan. He was drafted by his hometown Red Wings. He’s their captain.

How bad are things for him to request a trade from there?

[Keith @KeithKavJr]

Didn’t see that one coming!

Larkin will be in Year 4/8 at the start of next season on his $8.7M AAV contract that he signed in March of 2023.

67 points in 74 games last year. Won a gold medal with USA.

He has a full No Trade Clause. Represented by Pat Brisson of CAA.

@PatMcAfeeShow How about this SGP, getting scared so hedging with Wemby points in the 3rd, and hitting the fucking middle and winning both!

[Keith @KeithKavJr]

@mollyrosee4567 Knicks hot first few minutes. Spurs hot rest of quarter. Jalen Brunson hurt.
