You and other Bettman sycophant's always come up with the argument that when things go right with the NHL, isn't Bettman great but when things go wrong, he's just taking orders from the BOGs. You can't have it both ways.

I seriously have no idea what I apparently denied. I denied that he didn't do it? So I said that he did it? Is that what you're saying?
Bettman doesn't have personal control to approve a new owner, the BoG hands down that approval.
See here for an example

And if we're talking straight background checks and other diligence that's done by Ernst & Young and NYC law firm, likely Proskauer as they seem to handle most things for the NHL, MLB and NBA.
