The topic of Gary Bettman's retirement as commissioner of the National Hockey League sparked a lot of chatter a few months ago.
This news rekindled hope for many fans wishing for the return of the Quebec Nordiques, who believe that Bettman has no interest whatsoever in bringing the Nordiques back.
However, the replacement mentioned by Jeff Marek clearly won't be unanimously welcomed in that regard.

This would have been much better...
But Jeff Marek, who has solid sources within the NHL, seems fairly confident in his claim.
"Gary Bettman has informed the NHL he intends to retire as league commissioner in a "couple of years." (via The Athletic)"

If Daly does in fact replace Bettman, it will be more of the same for fans-absolutely no wind of change-and it will be exactly the same story when it comes to the return of the Quebec Nordiques Unfortunately
