We need an owner who doesn't treat this a business, and is just a massive fan.

Yup. Alfredsson seems primed and ready to be Mike Modano part two. And Modano was Borje Salming part two. Who was Darryl Sittler part two. Who was Bernie Federko part two.
The Wings have a bad track record with veterans on their last legs. I'm not too worried.
If he plays 70+ games this year, he will get 55+ pts while providing a solid two way game. He could also be Gordie Howe 2.0
Alfie speaks on Thursday...get ready...
Mike Modano had already floundered in Dallas for 2 years before leaving for Detroit. Alfie still has a lot to offer. Anyone here watch the playoffs this year?
With the exception of the outlier year in 2010-11 where he was injured, he's been on a steady decline since 2005-06.
So much fail in this:
Where to spend the money? Alfie when he asks for 6 million. He asked for it and we should have given it to him and then traded for B Ryan and made a serious push. Got it pumpkin??
Spent to the cap? You win the technicality awards my man. Really what happened was we spent where Melnyk was comfortable with and he has continued to operate at that number.
Debt? The debt payments are already included in the expenses so the 14.5 million in profit goes where?
Thats all I want from you, answer me where the 14.5 million went, and if Melnyk banked it is he still a good owner or just plain greedy.
Riddle me this batman

I'm sure we'd all like it if Melnyk could just throw money at the team, but expecting as much seems more than a tad unfair. Just because you don't care where the money comes from doesn't mean it just magically appears.

What's left to say that hasn't already been said? Alfie and Melnyk just keep dragging this **** out. Time to move on already.
Team has no money so Alfredsson went to a team that can spend
Pretty simple
Feels like we're talking to walls in here because people keep thinking that Melnyk owns acres of money trees somewhere in South America that he uses to finance this team.
It did... If we signed Alfredsson, Melnyk said we did not have money for Ryan.
That trade off favors the Sens
I think the batman reference about being hero is quite accurate right now.
