Yeah, any team in Canada would have been relocated if it had the same issues. Bettman pulled out all the stops to make it work for as long as they did.
And I get it. The Phoenix market is huge for money and media if it can work. I'd try to make it work there despite the hurdles, because the potential payoff is huge. I just don't see why anyone would blame Bettman for this, except for maybe not pulling the chord earlier before all the negativity killed the brand for the foreseeable future.
