Gary Bettman on the Kraken, the 2020-21 season, and the salary cap

TSN Vancouver Radio: Gary Bettman on the Seattle Kraken: “Seattle is on schedule. They’re open for 2021-22 season. The building is on schedule. They’re doing good in the marketing place. Vancouver now has a geographic rival. The pacific northwest will thrive now from a hockey stand point by having another club there.”

TSN Vancouver Radio: Bettman on the 2020-21 season: “We don’t know know whether or not we’ll have fans in the building. We don’t know about COVID in the future. We don’t even know about travel restrictions. We’re focusing on what the options are. We’d like to open Dec. 1 but that might slide to late Dec/Jan.”

TSN Vancouver Radio: Bettman on the salary cap: “Cap will be flat for at least a couple years. Because we could be down 800M-1B due to COVID, the cap theoretically may need to come down. We decided not to because it may be disruptive. When things get back to normal, hopefully we catch back up to where we we were.”
