The McKenzie column is probably the best summary I've read so far.

The whole thing sounds extremely unpleasant – and I hadn’t thought of the ramifications of the moving of the franchise. Whose rights are more pertinent? The owners of the team, or the League’s, who ultimately make the call where the teams need to be?

Of course, with government mandated bossing around of businesses, I wouldn’t be shocked if they get moved and Bettman’s told to suck it.
