Sure...but he's a businessman and a lawyer responsible for an entirely different organization.
I'd bet you that Bettman can't even skate. He's there to make owners money. This is really not his problem.
Short of being in that hotel room with a crow-bar I dont really see what he could have done.
The blame here lays very firmly with Hockey Canada who are responsible for the culture these kids grow up in, the consequences or lack thereof, and the rape slush-fund.
I think you and I are of the same idea, I just dont think Bettman has anything to do with it, or can do anything about it. By the time the players get to the NHL the damage is apparently done. What can anyone expect Bettman to do about it?
By the time they hit the NHL they're adults and employees and are to be treated as such. Before they get to the NHL they're kids.
