Bettman (the little pissant as I call him) had dreams of putting hockey in the sunbelt..places that hockey really isn't big for fans..and fans are the ones who pay the bills. fans aren't showing up in those markets and the losses are huge.
he can't stand to be show he's wrong..and he won't give in for any reason. It's been 8 years of losses and a viable new owner with deep pockets was willing to do whatever it took to get get that team out of debt and move them to a market where all NHL team owners would make a profit..
Bettman is a small minded little man who needs to be replaced. He has caused so much ill-will within the NHL and certainly the relationship between fans and the teams...
Time for him to hit the bricks..
