Good thing you're clear-eyed enough to see through their dastardly deception though, I mean they are rich so that must mean they're bad people.

I've previously stated that I think the Flames are generally good corporate citizens (I wouldn't necessarily say that about most of the owners' other holdings), and you're really making a leap that I am 'anti-rich people'.
Kings marching orders are obviously to get a deal at minimal cost to the owners. I don't think he has done a very good job, but I also don't think he is the only one involved in drawing this up. I don't think he was the one who rung up Brett Wilson of George Brookman and asked them to shill in some youtube videos. There is lots happening behind closed doors, and a big part of King and Bettman's jobs is to take the heat.
