What’s amusing about this is the Haslam’s don’t need the NHL. They have a money machine running and dabble in sports as a fun hobby. I’m pretty sure that Haslam, as an owner, will do or say pretty much anything he wants to. That said, he seems to be a nice enough guy and probably will be a good owner for Nashville. But make no mistake, he won’t fear Bettman and his tired,old NHL cronies and if push comes to shove, he’ll take his dough and go on to his next interest. For now, it’s good he bought in as a local owner.
