For the past few months, several rumors have been circulating suggesting that Gary Bettman has begun preparing for his retirement as NHL commissioner.
That created quite a buzz at the beginning of the year, as former NHL star was named as Bettman's potential replacement.
Let's recall one of the reports in question.

Here's what he mentioned on the DLLS Stars Podcast.

And Marek is very well informed on the subject!
He has solid sources within the NHL.
It's a logical name, since he's literally a Gary Bettman 2.0 and very similar, but it's definitely a disappointing name, specially for those hoping for the return of the Quebec Nordiques one day.
It's also a disappointing name for those who were hoping for a breath of fresh air in the National Hockey League following Bettman's departure.
It's not happening tomorrow morning, but know that it seems to be coming...
