You do realize that Buttman came from the NBA where he was the one that pushed for a salary cap system. It's how the NBA went from regional audiences with teams to one that prioritizes superstars and has a global audience.

That's what he trying to do with the NHL (a big assist went to the advent of HDTV as hockey was always the sport that was better to watch in person than on TV until the large panel HDTV's and broadcasts came out). It's kinda the whole point of a hard cap salary cap. Why do you think there is so much push on European games and marketable events like outdoor games? That is where the next assist came out (the NHL early adoption of digital tech and active social media think BAMTech).
As far as the owner financials--why do you think they were willing to lose a whole year's worth of revenue to implement this system in a CBA--because they are stupid businessmen? The player's cut of HRR went from 57% to 50%

That's not the real problem with the weasel Gary Buttman. No, the problem is the riding with Arizona despite playing in a 5000 seat college arena. The lying about playing in the Olympics. The problem is pushing the game to abandon traditions and prioritize money (like through the hated digital advertising boards). He doesn't care if it is distracting to the TV viewer---franchise values are through the roof (500M for Vegas, 650M for Seattle).

His next radar item is the Bally's Regional Networks (Diamond Sports Group) bankruptcy and payments to teams and the league's HRR. Don't expect him to focus on any of this other stuff you want.

I did watch the first few minutes and it was not the same old Bettman. 

As for the rest of the interview, I don't know.

The problem with Bettman in these situations, we all assume the same spin from him but it is his fault.

Heck I am still waiting for Bettman to announce a league wide tribute to Gordie Howe as he mentioned at the time of his passing.  I think I will be waiting forever.
