Saying that Bettman and Lombardi are "legally trained" and therefore that should provide some confidence is sort of like saying a you can be confident that your dermatologist can effectively perform your heart transplant because he went to medical school. Just because these guys are lawyers doesn't mean they have a clue about this particular discrete area of the law.
That being said, I certainly suspect they have numerous qualified people advising them as to what the risks and strongest arguments are here.
