During his time on the Pat McAfee the group talked about the NHL and the Olympics. Bettman confirmed two major things during the segment.
The first is that the NHL did this because the players very much wanted to come back to the Olympics. The second thing he confirmed is that the NHL continues to make no money by allowing their players to go to the Olympics.
This shows that if the NHL players do indeed return to the Olympics it will be the league doing the players and fans a favor. They will not benefit at least monetarily from the Olympics themselves with the move.
