Thread: Bettman makes 7.5 mil a year

His salary has doubled since the lockout

also, NHL revenue has gone from 2.1b to 2.9b since the lockout

Report -- Salary of Gary Bettman has doubled since NHL lockout - ESPN

Meh...in all honesty....

the guy gets a lot of hate but he has done a good job and that seems about right. Especially recently...Ratings are up, revenue of teams is up. I think the sport has played a couple of the most competitive seasons in its history the last 2-3 years, and they are taking steps to improve safety measures on the game.

...waiting for the uneducated Bettman hate


It's a fair salary. I don't have a problem with it

I don't like some of the things he's done and his marketing is one step up from a lemonaide stand, but that salary seems about right for what he does and puts up with.

And people are complaining about paying Doughty that much?

I have a bigger problem with Colin Campbell making 1.5 mil.

Just go glance at the Canucks or Maple Leafs boards. You'll find plenty of it there.

For all the people that want him to step down, could you imagine the disaster it would be if Campbell took his spot....

Its better than the $20+ million that Stern makes with the NBA
