NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has made a controversial statement that has shocked top agent Allan Walsh, who is now demanding Bettman's removal.

Bettman has refuted claims that repeated head injuries can result in chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a severe and progressive brain cell degeneration. Allan Walsh is demanding Bettman's resignation, arguing that his stance endangers players and is damaging to the NHL's reputation.
