Bettman had nothing to do with that. Until the early 1990s, national TV revenue in each country was divided among that country's teams. Then, with visions of a multi-billion-dollar U.S. TV deal dancing in their heads, the Canadian owners themselves agreed to abolish their separate revenue pool and share both national contracts equally among all teams. The fools thought they would gain more from the U.S. deal than they would lose from the Canadian one.
