From William Houston of the Globe & Mail:
Signing analyst Mike Milbury to a multiyear contract rates as Hockey Night in Canada’s most important acquisition in years.
The deal — two years plus an option — was announced yesterday after Milbury failed to reach a contract extension with TSN.
In just one NHL season with TSN (and also NBC), Milbury has developed into a top studio analyst, largely by mixing humour with hard-hitting commentary.
“I think it’s a huge acquisition,” Scott Moore, the head of CBC Sports, said. “If he’s not the best, he’s one of the top two or three [studio analysts] in the business.”

The veteran journalist shares his insight.
