And what that taught Gary Bettman was that he needed the power to not only negotiate with the union, but to control his own table. Nfotiu says Bettman lacks vision? I disagree. Bettman knew what was going to happen in 2004. And he convinced his owners to give him the veto power that would ensure the seven or eight large teams could not fold the way they did in 1995. Bettman then realized that - painful as it was to do so - the NHL needed to be willing to cancel the season to convince the union of how dire the situation had become. Bettman outmaneuvered Goodenow, and got us the salary cap that Bob had spent 15 years proclaiming would never happen.
