Walsh has Bettman in his crosshairs again.

One of the National Hockey League's top player agents in Allan Walsh certainly doesn't hold commissioner Gary Bettman in high regard, having made several statements against him in the past. And once again, he's back at it on social media.
This time, the source of Walsh's vitriol was over a recent report that showed television contract revenues for major North American sports leagues. Not surprisingly, the NFL came in 1st easily at a whopping $10 billion per year. Where does the NHL come in on the list? All the way down at 6th place on the list.
Take a look at how Walsh reacted to the news:
"And Gary keeps patting himself on the back for the ABC / ESPN deal. The previous 10-year deal with NBC / NBC Sports was a disaster that left a billion on the table." - Allan Walsh
People may remember that late last year, Walsh said that there were several NHL team owners who wanted a change in leadership, saying that “even the owners realize it’s time for a change in the NHL, and culture only changes from the top down.” He then went on to accuse Bettman of a “lack of empathy and caring” and that he “turned his back” on players dealing with substance abuse issues.
