I hate the threats and strong-arming as much or more than anyone else, and Bettman is really being a jackass, but-
all Hamister appears to want is help with the arena. Some of it might have already been on the table for Rigas, too, so what's the big deal?
The tax $$ to invest into the arena is more than worth it to keep the team alive and well and maybe enhance the arena's usage.
It's a no-brainer- the area must commit.

I would agree to giving the $$$ to help with arena debt as long as Hamister commits to a clause that GUARANTEES a few things:
1) Absolute non-relocation
2) Lease minimum 30 years
3) If Sabres become profitable, that money goes to pay back the debt forgiveness

I'd say only #1 is realistic, maybe #2.
#3 is a deal-breaker. You just cost us the Sabres!
No tax money for pro sports. Don't do it.
