NHL Panthers' Versteeg Wants Bettman, Daly Out Of Office

NHL Panthers RW Kris Versteeg today said once the current lockout is over, it “will be a good time” to remove NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly from office. Appearing on TSN Radio, Versteeg said he was “really frustrated” by the lack of progress in the ongoing CBA talks. He noted once a deal is reached, “you’ve got to cut out the cancers” in Bettman and Daly. Versteeg added the pair has been “ruling this game for far too long” and fans have been “left with too many bad tastes in their mouths for too many years” (“Blue Lunch with Bryan Hayes & Jamie McLennan,” TSN Radio, 11/19).
