it is unfair to compare tv contracts between SJ and Toronto (or NY or LA). I'm sure $7mil is bad, but the questions is, what is it worth?
How much is Nashville's? How much does SJ get from the NHL rev share?
And there are ways to compensate for a bad TV deal. Doing well in the playoffs is one, but its SJ so lets forget about that ever happening (see what I did there).
One thing the owner of the Caps has done is start his own broadcast network with the goal of creating a cable channel. Caps (and Wizard) TV rights are owned (like SJ) by Comcast, but he's exploiting other content until the Caps rights become avail (5 years) and the Wiz (10 years). Its a very similar to what the MSG network has done in NY. The own the arena, they can create content based on what play in the arena plus other content from the caps and wizards. And when they get both the Caps and Wiz rights, it'll be a license to print money.
The core of this that TV revenue is a core part of how teams are making money, but the NHL has created a decent rev share syhstem for smaller market teams and there are other ways of making money if you are creative.

Hmmm - 8th, 17th, 18th Largest (GONE) - 10th, 14th, 19th, 20th Largest (Not There) - Ticket $$ Most Important. Jun 20, 10:12

By your attendance logic, NHL would have moved out of Phoenix rather than insist on staying. {nm} Jun 20, 10:38
