What do you think it may be?

1. Alfie signing
2. Bobby Ryan signing
3. Mark Methot signing
4. Captaincy - Phillips
5. Captaincy - other
6. Ottawa awarded an outdoor game for 2017
7. LeBreton Flats arena

I think Bmurr would make any signing anouncements.
So unless Bmurr has created a time machine and signed bobby orr in his prime i think theyre still looking for cowens partner.
probably a charity anouncement..
werent Melnyk and murray in a heated discussion at practice the other day..yesterday

My vote is for an arena upgrade of some sort. A partnership with some other company to install a thing or offer a different thing at CTC.

 

[edguy]

Multiple people have said it will be to name captain. My guess is Phillips.

 

[PaGEEsBack]

All of the above and he ends it with a mic drop.

 

[UnHappyDude]

Its probalby going to be so lame and insignificant and disappointing.

 

[GreatStateofHockey]

My guess is that Murray wanted to name Phillips captain, but Melnyk went over his head and chose Karlsson for the marketability factor .

 

[Shanny]

Bettman is in town so I'd assume it's the 2017 game and/or Karlsson being named captain.

 

[OgieO]

TSN says "significant hockey announcement".

So rink upgrades make sense. Maybe a new minority owner to go with it? But my guess is captaincy.

Murray announces his retirement???

Bettman is in town so I'd assume it's the 2017 game and/or Karlsson being named captain.

If Bettman is in town must be something more than a signing or naming a Capt.

I'm leaning towards forensic investigation results.

I would think so, announcing a new captain or signing really doesn't seem all that "significant".

 

[Sun God Nika]

I am so getting tickets to that outdoor game..

 

[Smash88]

Yeah i voted for captain, but it does make sense that they would announce an outdoor game for 2017.

Man I'm going to have to get the wallet ready for that winter.

Aren't we getting the Grey Cup that year too?

 

[sens45]

Ya think this will be on Rogers 22 or other tv?

 

[DG]

Anything but the results of a forensic investigation condemning Cooke will be highly disappointing.

 

[OmniSens]

I'll say it's for the outdoor game.

Can't seen them giving a centennial plum to small market Ottawa.

 

[The Lewler]

Ottawa Sun now claiming it is to announce Karlsson as captain.

 

[OmniSens]

All of the above and he ends it with a mic drop.

that would be badass

 

[Tundraman]

Desperate Melnyk will announce that the Sens are signing Henry Burris to quarterback the power play.

Sens Expected to Name Karlsson Captain

http://www.ottawasun.com/2014/10/02/sens-expected-to-name-karlsson-captain

The Senators have called a 9:15 a.m. news conference at which they are expected to name Erik Karlsson their captain

 

[newtron]

New minority owner... or majority owner... or they've found bigfoot.

If the announcement was a new deep-pocketed ownership partner, the Sens could lose every game this year and I'd still call it a success.
