Gary Bettman helps out another American team
Gary Bettman, the NHL Commissioner, has a history of showing favoritism towards certain teams.
One beneficiary of his actions is the Arizona Coyotes, which has raised eyebrows among the NHL Board of Governors. However, Bettman has recently shown support for a different team - the Carolina Hurricanes.
OFFICIAL! The #Canes have a new 20-year lease extension at PNC Arena, keeping the team at the venue through the 2043-44 season.
The building will undergo major renovations as a part of the agreement, including the development of a vibrant sports and entertainment district.
The deal includes a combined $300M investment from the City of Raleigh and Wake County. Gale Force will enter into a ground lease to develop the land around PNC Arena.
Gale Force will commit a minimum of $200M within five years, $400M within 10 years, and $800M within 20 years.

The Hurricanes have signed a 20-year lease with the city of Raleigh, NC and are investing $300,000,000.00 into the area. In response, Bettman has promised the team an All-Star Game within the next three years and another Stadium Series game within five years.
The Hurricanes last hosted an All-Star Game in 2011, and other smaller market teams such as the Seattle Kraken have been left disappointed. This highlights the NHL's focus on money over growing the game.
