If it went to a vote you don't think the owners would ok a relocation of a team that will never turn a profit to a dedicated hockey market for a billion dollars? They absolutely would, the problem is it will never get that far. The majority of owners are against the Coyotes playing in a 5000 seat arena for years and don't think they should be part of revenue sharing and yet Bettman doesn't listen to them on that. I think you are underestimating how much power Bettman actually has.
