EDMONTON — NHL commissioner Gary Bettman is heading to Calgary on Friday but says anything to do with a new arena for the Flames franchise is not on the agenda. Bettman was asked if the ball is then in the city’s court when it comes to getting negotiations renewed. During his appearance in Vancouver on Wednesday, Bettman said the NHL has no regrets about not sending its players to the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. Not having players in South Korea meant there was no “disruption to our season,” Bettman said. Canada’s men’s hockey team, a collection of former NHL players mostly playing in Europe, won bronze at the Olympics.
