- Huh? What sway does Bettman have in allocating football franchises? -- nm - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 8, 11:05 3
  - read the article, Mop. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 11:07 2
    - I thought I did. "The NBA, NFL and Major League Baseball have lent their support to that stance, as it helps ensure their stability." - Mop (235 lbs) Jun 8, 11:10 1
      - getting another *NHL* franchise. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 11:12
- ahh the NHL, let's turn down a massively successful multi-billionaire owner for the owners of a second rate team in a second League -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 10:59 5
  - They don't want a potential Cuban situation on their hands. And I kind of see their point at this juncture. -- nm - Reagen Jun 8, 11:01 3
    - with the number of teams having problems or thinking of moving, beggars shouldn;t be choosers -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 11:04 2
      - If they have any other bidders, Balsillie's caused enough headaches they don't need. - Will Hunting Jun 8, 11:09 1
        
        at this point it's gone personal for Bettman and Balsillie - Reagen Jun 8, 11:10
  - that has a history for shady owners...fuckin' Bettman. -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 10:59
I'll go as high as 33% (the link above is a pretty good breakdown of everything that is going on BTW) -- nm - Beaker Jun 8, 10:54
