There's no way Bettman has any faith in Meruelo to get this done.. Bettman had to interrupt him multiple times to clarify an answer or cover for a stupid answer...

Bettman clearly wants NHL to work here, but he's tied to a complete clown.

Not that promising for the future of NHL hockey in AZ.
Too bad the NHL didn't help with the sale, and reserve the team's name, image, and likeness, etc., but keep it open to anyone who could successfully get an arena done here in Arizona rather than giving exclusivity to the same old owner.

Heck, then the league itself could have tried to get something done and then sell the expansion team and an arena to a prospective buyer.

I would rather have no hockey in AZ than to be another poverty franchise in AZ

Hopefully we get a new owner and franchise in the next 5-10 years.

Meanwhile, Utah sucks
