Well like it says, has he ruined the sport? Can the sport be brought back to where it was before he took over? The NHL IMO is a niche sport and some of the teams he's brought in are in garbage locations. No reason for Flordia to have 2 teams, Nashville is struggling, Hartford, quebec is gone and with the CBA struggle the sport is in shambles. ESPN dropped the sport and VS is a joke IMO with the broadcasts.
When is his contract up!?!?

Is Betteman bad for the sport of hockey? YES!

Sorry to go all Lewis Black there for a moment, but yeah, under him the American TV contract has been butchered, player salaries have escalated, several teams still aren't financially solvent... hockey really needs to do themselves a favor and hire a new commissioner.
