Fanuck Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 As expected pretty much. The competent GM's around the league should've known this was going to happen and would've planned accordingly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I will believe it when I see it. I would think that this is based on a projection that buildings will be full again for the coming season, and I’ll be shocked if they are. Canada represents a disproportionate percentage of league revenues, and I really don’t think that Canadian buildings will be more than 50% full to start the season, and may never get above that as the season plays out. Especially with Covid numbers spiking again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure player escrow wont be an issue 650 million from expansion is bot counted towards hockey revenues, unless they changed this in the new CBA. The 4.7 billion TV deal will definitely help, but it’s a long path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially with Covid numbers spiking again. Alberta will be 100 percent. We are removing all Covid related government mandates August 16th. No longer have to quarantine when you have covid... We'll see how this goes lol 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can sort of understand reducing in door mask mandates and stuff like that, but not needing to quarantine if you actually have COVID? What's the point of testing if people testing positive don't have to behave any differently than people testing negative 2 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean she has a point, I'm just undecided how I feel about it all. I have had Covid, don't wish it on anyone, I have also been fully vaccinated.

No longer have to quarantine when you have covid... We'll see how this goes lol Vaccine passports announced in Quebec. I would expect the same soon announced in other provinces. So those who choose to get vaccinated will get to go to games. Those who refuse vaccination will have their opportunity restricted. Their Premier says as much in his announcement. This is good for league’s bottom line, because fans will be able to fill the Canadian rinks, which is big money for Hockey Revenues. https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/legault-announces-quebec-will-move-ahead-with-vaccination-passport Edited August 5, 2021 by Alflives 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Fist Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 US broadcasting deal tripled. Canadian broadcasting deal probably going to split again between sportsnet and TSN, should be higher than before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening everything up like Alberta has is irresponsible and defies science and reasoned medical advice. We'll see how things play out in Sept/Oct when the season starts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VegasCanuck Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Was looking at the math that they are doing on this. It's "possible" but it's also based on a number of assumptions in a highly unstable situation. If another variant shows up that is highly resistant to vaccines (very possible considering how long it will take to get the planet to 80% vaccination rate), then their projection will collapse.

Alberta hasn't had any real restrictions since July 1, we held the stampede, we hosted over 500,000 people and cases did not rise, nor did hospitalizations or deaths. Although I am still on the fence with this approach I did read what our head medical had to say and there are some valid points. Covid will not go away, it is a virus and as such is part of society now. We need to learn to live with it as such 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
