Actually I think it states it perfectly.
He is an employee of the NHL. He is not a monarch. His job depends on his performance meeting the expectations of his employers, the BoG and by extension the rest of the owners. If the owners didn't want the NHL owning a team in phoenix they would not own a team in Phoenix. If Bettman persisted despite the owners wishes he would not be employed by the NHL.
