Bettman has never shown any interest in letting teams off the hook for cap issues, and has been pretty harsh for those testing the lines.
I just don't see him allowing a team to piss off the PA and get cap relief for anything less than a really big deal.
Even if LA has all kinds of reasons to use termination as a convenience, no way he allows it unless it's a) serious and b) he thinks he can win.
Whether or not he does win is another issue. Just my opinion of course.
