		Known as "Don Cherry's side-kick", this year MacLean hired an agent to negotiate his contract with the CBC, and on Monday negotiations failed and the CBC announced that MacLean would not be hosting Hockey Night in Canada this year.

	Ron Maclean dropped from HNIC. - Digital Forum
		I guess Ron probably has an offer at another network in his "back pocket".
		I honestly can't see Ron going to ESPN, Fox, etc as they probably wouldn't know who he is really as he has only been on HNIC, maybe something like local Leafs coverage by Global or CKVR but they probably can't afford his salary.
		That's the nice thing about Maclean is that he was unbaised, unlike Cherry (who seems to favour the TML but doesn't let you know explicitly) and never indicated that he rooted for the TML although deep down I think he likes them or the CFs.
