The reason why Gary Bettman is so reluctant about the Olympics?

There is already a ragging fire between the players and Gary Bettman regarding the their participation to the next Olympics. 

By the end of the GM meetings in Februrary, Bill Daly and the NHL commissioner Gary Bettman addressed the Olympic situation. Nothing they said had a positive impact both on the players and the fans that want to see the best player in the world participate in the 2018 Olympic.

“Unless something changes we’re not going,” deputy commissioner Bill Daly told Canadian Press after the general managers meeting.

A new report by Jeff Eisenband states that Gary Bettman will not promise World Cup of Hockey return in 4 years (could be earlier, could be later) which means the NHL could hold the World Cup to replace the Olympics.

Player like Ovechkin and Voracek already stated they were going to the Olympics no matter what happens. The recent statement by Gary Bettman might explain why he is so reluctant about the Olympics. Money talks. World cup brings him money, Olympics don't as he stated.
