It always gets down to what a commissioner's job actually is: to make the owners money. What gets that done and what is "good for the game" aren't often synonymous.

Now that the dust has settled, I have a question for the board: would you trade Josh Allen to the Packers for Aaron Rodgers?

Stikes me as more of a lead paint type. We have those in Buffalo. Comes with the 100 year old homes.

What would you rather get in a Krebs trade: Patrick Kane, or a starting caliber NHL goalie?

You can't honestly tell me that you wouldn't love to have Aaron Rodgers on this team right now.

Any commissioner's job is to #1 make money for his owners because that is who he works for. Bettman has had his job for a long time. They must love him.
- lacaprup


He has, for the most part, been able to make deals that have increased the value of the product and make the owners a lot of money. He is good at that.

That being said, any line of a product that continually costs more to produce that it sells for (the Coyotes) is not profitable to the company as a whole (NHL)and usually becomes discontinued or sold to another company (New Location).

Adams made Ullmark an offer that was equal money wise to Boston's offer, just not the term. Ullmark chose term.
So, the shot at making sure there is money for Krebs is misplaced.

The team would be smart to move to Houston or Portland IMO.

Keeps division/conference alignment. Moves to what should be good markets.

RichardRoma is someone’s alt that for the life of me I can’t figure out how it hasn’t been removed.

It completely derails any actual conversation that happens here.
