First, he and the NHL put a stipulation on Jim Balsillie's deal to buy the Pittsbrugh Penguins franchise of not being able to move the team without the permission of the NHL and himself (buyer was going to put up the money to build a new arena worth over 200 million) to the location of Kitchner-Waterloo. Because of this Balsillie backed out of the deal.
Second, after the Casino deal goes up in smoke because of idoitic religious folks that believe the money earned from the casino is dirty and sinful, and the politicians go along with this in hopes not to be voted out when election time comes again, he goes to say that he will support the franchise if (and when) it will move.
WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP!!
Who agrees with me that Gary Bettman, no matter how well he did when he was a senior executive of the NBA, and has done great things for the game, (i.e./ expand franchises, raise profits, etc...) a lawyer from New York SHOULD not be running the greatest game in the world!!
