They should call them Jersey Boys to get people to buy tickets.

Some of current NHL teams and players are now in the top tier for all pro sports franchises in terms of income and revenue.

If there is money to be made in the LV market, Bettman will be there to make it happen. They'll probably end up with a semi-pro team owned by one of the current NHL teams.

If DN is part of an ownership scheme, unless he has much deeper pockets than previously thought, it's a micro share.

Perhaps the thing the Toronto Maple Leafs need, the team I hate to love, is a move from Toronto! Maybe LV?
After reading your first couple paragraphs I wasn't sure that you understood business and could truly gauge how smart Bettman is.... but after the last part I can see without doubt that you understand what the NHL should do next.

Bettman smart? maybe about screwing the players and causing lockouts. there are plenty of other cities that should get a nhl team before LV. i think a franchise in portland should definitely happen. the winterhawks draw extremely well for a minor league team and the fans are very passionate there, not to much mention portland is justa really cool town overall legalized bud or not

Las Vegas Limpers

But it won't be Poker related, so maybe something like the Las Vegas Gamblers?

Or the Las Vegas Hangovers?

Building an arena makes sense. There are lots of ice show things like Disney on Ice or whichever ice dancers did well at the last Olympics that would be able to get people in on non-match days in a place like Vegas.

How well does it do in a city where the population is mostly people transplanted from other cities. The team will have a good two years then slowly start to dip into Florida Panthers territory.

at some point one of the pro teams has to give it a shot, might as well be the NHL/ I'm excited about the prospect personally, it would give me a reason to get there earlier in the year while the weather sucks in the NE

Coolers is a decent name, but I've yet to see one that feels right. they'll probably end up going with a desert animal. Team should also just be the "Vegas ______" ditch the Las, it's cleaner. Black Knights sucks.

He is either gullible or just starving for attention.

Greater men than Negreanu have made their best attempts at starting a sports franchise with little luck.
