Re: Hockey Media - nationally televised NHL games next year (in the US)

I think that makes a big difference. Also, as fun as it can be watching a generational talent develop, the Oilers aren't exactly the most fun to watch at the moment and a lot of people in US TV markets don't have that much investment in them. I think they'd probably do better drawing in casual viewers if they played more Buffalo or Toronto games for Eichel and Matthews.

Whereas Crosby came in post-lockout onto a team with Mario Lemieux, and with the league having determined that he was going to be the face of the "new NHL." They marketed him because they felt they needed to. That isn't true of McDavid. And Eichel, while great, isn't the Ovechkin to McDavid's Crosby.
