I mean, the league is now at 50/50 split, just had world cup, no more fights, 3-on-3, big TV deal, and outdoor games, so what possibly be the issue? The game is being played exactly how Bettman wanted it.

Popularity of hockey, cost of tickets, competition for entertainment dollars, economic uncertainty are all far more likely.
