Bettman says it again: Hurricanes not moving
“I don’t think anyone needs to worry about the future of the franchise in Carolina. That’s where the league believes it should be and where it will be.”
— NHL commissioner Gary Bettman, November 2015
“I don’t see the Hurricanes relocating, period. I think the Triangle is a terrific market.”
— Bettman, June 2016
“There’s no imperative for the franchise to be sold on any immediate basis, and the franchise is not moving.”
-- Bettman, Jan. 28, 2017
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman keeps saying the same thing: the Carolina Hurricanes are a franchise that will not be moving from the Triangle.
