Both baselines use each team's home market: BUFFALO for Buffalo Sabres and RALEIGH - DURHAM (FAYETVLLE) for Carolina Hurricanes.
The gap reflects both monthly price and service count, so similar headline prices can still hide setup complexity.
Use the calculator if you follow both teams or live outside either home market.
