Bettman announces plans to keep the Jets in Winnipeg

Thankfully, it seemed like just speculation as Gary Bettman said the following:
Gary Bettman: «I'm not sure why people are now speculating that (the Jets) are not going to be here.»

Basically, the commissioner himself said the Jets are staying in Winnipeg.
The attendance hasn't been great, but their passion couldn't be more understated, their playoff numbers are insane with their famous "whiteout", personally we think that Winnipeg is a proven hockey city.
Another comment pointed out by Bettman was the following:
Gary Bettman on the current state of the Winnipeg Jets: «That's why, for anybody suggesting that the agenda for ownership is other than focused on Winnipeg, is silly."
In simple terms, hockey is staying in Winnipeg.
