The Athletic creates NHL broadcasting teams for ESPN and TNT through a broadcasting fantasy draft.
You’d think the Seattle Kraken expansion draft is the most exciting mass hockey acquisition coming in the summer of 2021.
You’d be wrong.
Sure, the players selected by Seattle will be part of a new expansion team and impact overall rosters, but none of those selections will impact your daily life when you watch hockey on national television in the United States.
The roster moves made by ESPN and Turner Sports this summer, as they prepare to step in as the NHL’s national TV partners, will help define the voice and look of hockey for at least the next seven years.
