Never really understood why Bettman gets called out so much for trying to keep teams where they are.

Not too long ago, Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa were all on the chopping block. Also, the expansion to the South happened before he became commissioner. The only teams that he would have approved are the Winnepeg Jets, Minnesota Wile, and Columbus Blue Jackets.

All Northern teams with a proven hockey history.
