Only 15 trades this year so there was plenty of time to analyze the different trade deadline panels and talking heads. Sportsnet beat TSN 8 – 7 breaking the trade scoops so we can't really declare a winner based on the one scoop lead, we're going to have to dig a little deeper.
For me there were two things that set the Sportsnet coverage apart, the Vancouver trade centre with Taylor, Valk and May and the 'Strategy Room'. The Vancouver trade center was great from a local stand point, which you would expect form Sportsnet since TSN doesn't do Vancouver coverage.
Really though, it's the 'Strategy Room' that set Sportsnet's coverage apart from TSN's this time around.
Listening to Quinn, Smith, Broten and McLean break down their old trades while talking about the different scenario's they have personally encountered was by far the most interesting part of the day's analysis.
Sportsnet's creative use of these former NHL managers gives them the clear edge on the day's coverage.
