Bettman on #Sens drama: “There have been lots of headstones placed on franchises over the years, but none of the burials ever took place. This is a moment in time, more sensational than anything else.”

As for Seattle, Bettman said nothing new to report. Vetting process on the application continues and hope remains to begin play in 2020. But it will depend on if KeyArena is ready.
