Bettman doesn't have personal control to approve a new owner, the BoG hands down that approval.
See here for an example http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=602201
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. |
You have a short memory. New owners have to go through Bettman before they go through the BOGs. As for background checks, that didn't seem to mean anything when Boots applied.
Anyways here's a video on the latest situation. Even Kevin O'Leary has been offered a part of the Coyotes which brings it closer to Bettman appearing on the Dragon's Den. Kevin even says "Baitman controls everything".
