Insider Jeff Marek revealed some important information regarding NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman's retirement, and we now know who the replacement could end up being.
The news that Gary Bettman would end up retiring hit the wire last season, as fans were in shock that it'd come to this point.
As the NHL's only commissioner, it's agreeable that the league needs a fresh face.
Well, NHL Insider Jeff Marek has released some important information of who the candidate to replace him would be.

While it's great news that we can expect Bettman to be retiring from the NHL soon, it is quite harrowing that the new boss would be the same as the old boss when it comes to the greater scheme of things.
Marek's sources have delivered meaningful news before, and if this turns out to be true, I wonder if players will ever have justice when it comes to topics like CTE.
In the meantime, we wait.
