Firing Bettman ? Not going to happen at this point in a set of negotiations, so don't get your hopes too high.

Friedman has chimed in with a CBC article now too.

Bettman will not be fired until a deal is reached. But if the deal happens behind his back then he could resign.

Bettman has already made plans to move onto greener pastures. He's lacing up his boots to star as an Ewok in Star Wars VII due out in '15.

He has been constantly pitching the idea of playing the part of Darth Vader's resurrection but he always delays the contract talks by asking for additional money aside from the terms on the contract.

He's too short for Darth Vader. Ewok, Yoda or he could curl up in the fetal position and play one of Princess Leia's hairbuns.

This isn't the lounge. I don't think we should go there again.

Unfortunately it seems fair to say that Mr Burton jumped the gun here like everyone thought he did. There was no deal in place and still isn't.

My guess is he got word that the league was looking to get a deal done with the Dec 1 date having passed and interpreted that as a deal IS going to get done.

Things could still happen at this point but it seems just as likely that the whole thing goes off the rails right now as well.

The deal is done, this is just for show. Steve Fehr bringing out pizza was icing on the cake.
