From said interview:
Bettman:
Hulsizer didn't attend the games because of the media frenzy. Probably had and has other things going on. Don't have the luxury to attend, especially when travelling.
No timeline on deal, but expect to know where franchise is before the schedule is released (June). Setting a dealine right now would serve any useful or constructive purpose.
Threat of lawsuit made the bonds un-saleable. GWI hasn't proved anything and likely won't have to.
COG with Hulsizer trying to find other solutions around GWI. NHL helping. Questions of logistics versus time.
And another key point:
On Goldwater: "If the deal collapses, they may never have to prove they were right, unless somebody sues them for some sort of interference notion. But that's what caused the deal to go sideways. What the City of Glendale has been doing, with our help and with Matt Hulsizer, is trying to figure out another way to do this where it doesn't involve having to sell the bonds in a way that the Goldwater Institute can interfere."
