message: I removed the 2006 and onward section because it reads like hearsay and is missing reliable sources. --BillyRamirez 01:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

message: * Was pariodied in the movie Bon Cop, Bad Cop by a character named Harry Buttman who served in the same position and who was going to sell the Montréal team to the US. Unsure of where or how to add this if even necessary. Lsjzl 13:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I think the criticism section should be greatly limited or even eliminated because it is very anti-bettman (see WP:NPOV).  For example it referenced several teams declaring bankruptcy, if you're going to mention that you ought to mention that most have come out of bankrupcty (see Buffalo Sabres, now the number one team in league who also sold out all seats for the year).Eleigh33 20:54, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I read the following sentance several times, but it don't make sense :
::: "...However, those areas that showed interest in hockey whereas the only cities that the league expanded to under his watch, St. Paul, Atlanta, Nashville, and Columbus..."
Could I get some feedback on what exactly this means? Thnaks. --Mr.Deathhawk (talk) 22:24, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have no idea, to be honest.  That entire paragraph (hell, the entire article) needs re-writing.  This passage specifically is preceded by a factual error as well, since the expansion to San Jose (Ziegler), Tampa and Anaheim (Stein) were led by previous Presidents of the NHL, not by Bettman.  I'll reword this passage to start, however. Resolute 01:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I've completely rewritten this article over the last month to balance and source it.  Hopefully I haven't missed any major concepts. Resolute 23:56, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Complete rewrite

message: :In addition, four franchises relocated during Bettman's tenure: The Minnesota North Stars to Dallas (1993), the Quebec Nordiques to Denver (1995), the Winnipeg Jets to Phoenix (1996) and the Hartford Whalers to Raleigh (1997).[12]
The Hartford Whalers originally moved to Greensboro, North Carolina and not Raleigh. Eventhough it's cited, the statement isn't factually accurate. In addition, Raleigh is not as well known a city as the other three. So for these reasons, I'm changing it to read "to North Carolina". --Pwnage8 (talk) 06:40, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: According to http://hurricanes.nhl.com/team/app/?service=page&page=NHLPage&id=2738 they moved to Raleigh but played their first two seasons in Greensboro. To wit, their office was (is?) in Morrisville, NC. Saying they moved to Greensboro is like saying the New York Giants moved to New Jersey.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbramley (talk • contribs) 20:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The Whalers always intended to play in Raleigh, they just had to have a stadium built. In the meantime, they played in the Greensboro Coliseum, which is less than an hour from Raleigh. And last time I checked, Raleigh is pretty well known. Most state capitals are. There are three major universities within 15 minutes of Raleigh (one of them is in Raleigh). Maybe you've heard of them: North Carolina, NC State and Duke. I would take it a step further than jbramley's NYG analogy. The Washington Nationals always intended to build a new stadium, but they played their first season in DC in RFK. That doesn't mean the Expos moved to one part of DC, only to move again a year later (RFK and Nationals Park are on opposite sides of the city).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.4.107.154 (talk) 14:01, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
