If he tries to maneuver against the process when he ISN'T an owner, what would he be like if he WAS an owner? Not only has he alienated Bettman, but most, if not all of the other owners.

It appears money and arrogance can't buy everything and even though I wouldn't mind another Canadian team, and Phoenix probably should be moved, I think it's hilarious the guy failed again.
Yet it seems incredibly ridiculous for Bettman to exercise his only other option and keep a losing, bankrupt team in Phoenix. If I were a creditor - I'd be pissed right about now.

Its as if Bettman is cutting off his nose to spite his face.

$100million fee just to move the team?! PLEASE!
