Dahlin-Cherry 6-4

Don Cherry is expected to return to "Hockey Night in Canada" next season, Sportsnet president Scott Moore said Tuesday.

"I think he continues to be relevant, he continues to be must-watch television," Moore told The Canadian Press. "We sit down every July for lunch to talk about whether or not he wants to come back and in what capacity.
"I expect that he will be back next year. We've had some preliminary discussions. I'm obviously a big fan of his."
Cherry, who turned 84 in February, started his "Coach's Corner" segment in 1980. Ron MacLean, 58, joined him in 1987 and is under contract for next season, the report said.
Moore also said he would like Brian Burke to continue as a broadcaster after working the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Burke left the Calgary Flames as an executive this season.
"We haven't come up with exactly what his role will be," Moore said. "But he will be in some way, shape or form on Saturday nights and probably on Wednesday nights. Because we have so many hockey properties, including our radio shows, I would expect you'd see a lot of him."
Moore also said he would like play-by-play announcer Bob Cole to return next season. The 84-year-old worked a limited schedule this season.
"Bob and I have talked about whether or not he would do some games next year," Moore said. "We will discuss that over the summer. I continue to be a big fan of Bob's. He is a legend. … We'd love to have him do a few games next year."
