League Business

New RSN Canadian broadcast deal $11B CDN for 12 years

Revenue that will hopefully offset the CND $ and keep the cap going up.

Is this Betman's final act before retiring or is he going to hang around for two more teams?

He probably rides the league through its next CBA, then wanders of into the sunset.

He makes 9.5-10 million per year. I think he goes as long as he can. He is only 72.

Wow. I did’t realize he made that much.

Given how much he's grown league and owner revenue writ-large, it would be a bargain. He's earned it, IMO.

Yeah. I agree with that. He grew the league, made it WAY more legit (regarding revenue, TV deals, expansion to new markets, etc)..

If he could some how get rid of refs 'game management' and stop being so smarmy on TV, he would be better

We would all miss the boos when the Cup is handed out. Or, well, anytime he takes to the ice to talk to the fans.

Agreed. I have tried so hard to hate him all these years yet I find I have this unwanted respect for him. And I too look forward to hearing the boos and his comebacks, or even encouraging it to be louder.
