Bettman is very careful in his public statements.

He didn't say Melnyk would survive, but that the franchise would. A not so subtle message to Melnyk to get his crap together or sell because the team isn't going anywhere.

If Eugene continues on his self-destructive path, the fans can empty the arena and force him out.

Stop over thinking it. Bettman said nothing.

Furthermore, this belongs on the Sens board.

I think you're misinterpreting it. I think he's saying it's sensationalism.

I'm not sure you understand Bettman's job, he works for the owners, he's not going to trash an owner and there have been many owners in his time worse than Melnyk
Bettman works for ALL the owners.

There is a multi billion dollar development at Lebreton Flats in Ottawa that Eugene is putting in jeopardy. The alternative bid has some heavy hitters with strong connections to Bettman and the NHL.

There is too much money at stake for the league to sit by while Nero fiddles. Eugene is being told to stop the nonsense and get on with the bid or sell to people who will.

Exactly, he's defending the Senators.

Eugene is NOT the Senators.

You're getting the wrong message out of that tweet. Bettman is essentially saying it's not a big deal and that people are going overboard.

And what does it say about Eugene's relocation threats?

No man, you're misinterpreting it.
Bettman has never thrown an owner under the bus.

Lock this thread, it's nothing

You seem really confused here. Gary Bettman works for Eugene Melnyk, not the other way around.
Gary Bettman works for ALL the owners and Melnyk's actions are hurting the bottom line.

Bettman has the right to deny any relocation application and will do so with better ownership groups waiting in the wings for this embarrassment to sell.

it seems like you are dreaming that Bettman is on the verge of stepping in and saving the Senators, but nothing is indicative of that. In fact, his quote is really closer to him saying that things are being blown out of proportion
