From the outside it would seem that letting Balsillie buy the team would be the perfect solution. Unfortunately and sadly this has become more about the NHL brass trying to save face and egos have gotten involved.
It seems ridiculous that this has dragged on for so long and I am shocked other NHL owners haven't called Bettman out for his handling of this. Its embarrassing to the league and just not a good situation for anyone.
When you are prepared to eat hundreds of millions of dollars when you could have avoided that its not good business.
