Live programming that they can put on ESPN+
Probably “only” paid a few hundred million since NHL has been nonexistent on ESPN except for one 3 minute Barry Melrose segment on the 1AM Sportscenter
I’m sure NHL wanted back in on the ESPN platforms
It’s only half the package. But ESPN will now have to actually cover the league

Comcast NBC isn’t happy they now lost exclusive rights. But they ultimately will probably re-up cause FOX doesn’t look like they gonna drop money
