I suppose the Coyotes are going to want Bettman to decide whether Chayka's move is lateral or not. I am not sure how flexible that definition is. Is it lateral in pay, duties, title, prestige; or a combination of any of those factors?
I could see it being subjective in some situations and what the Coyotes consider upward or lateral, might not be what Chayka or Bettman considers the same. Is there more specific language to define these things?
The Coyotes are Bettman's pet, so I could see him siding with them if there is any legal flexibility for him to do so.
