This seems like Murray Edwards hardball. Every year the Hockey News lists the 100 most influential people in the NHL, and every year Edwards is on the list and cited as a close ally of Bettman and one of hardliners in the board of governors. If he takes a notably antagonistic, hardline stance in negotiations with players, it’s unsurprising he’s using the same tactics with the City. And he lives in England so yeah, probably pretty out of touch with public sentiment in Calgary.
