I doubt Stones agent would let him take this, but 8 mil for 5 seasons would be amazing. Get all his prime years, and the term is short enough not to be stuck with an albatross contract.
It's so sad that our lives as Sens fans has come to this. For every single player on the roster we live in fear that our cheap-ass owner won't pay to keep him. It sucks.
You are trying to drum up sympathy for the devil....And its not going to work....EM is his own worst enemy.....Lots of teams have budgets,but few use it as an excuse,bargaining tool,and general cure all to appease fans as often as he does...He has drained that well,and any benefits that comes with it...eighth highest Payroll this season.

Its not only in how he speaks,its his actions....Him selling assets for monetary considerations,the shrinking of our management group ...There is a perception that Ottawa is among the lowest spending teams, in terms of pay roll, cap payroll and cap space available.
The facts don't support that, and when the narrative here is the Sens won't pay up to keep their star players, I'm just pointing to the facts.
Sure, non payroll spending is lower than most teams, and I never disputed that, and then has been some positive moves to improve that ............... not enough, but it's still positive.
I don't feel badly for the public perception that Melnyk has orchestrated mostly on his own, he knows he's over shot the mark on how the market will respond to his brutal truth type of talk when he speaks from the hip.

Take out the almost 5M for MacArthur's contract which our owner is not paying and you get a much more accurate picture of what is really being spent.eighth highest Payroll this season.

The guy has no clue.I don't care to refute you. MrCraigAnderson already did. But I will give you a bit of advice. Never use hockeybuzz as a source for anything.
That's like using the National Enquirer as a primary source in your PhD thesis.

He legit called me out for using the Allsvenskan as a comparisson, asking why I would bring a soccer leaague into the discussion.
He's clueless, but has his mind set on being "the voice of reason".
I typed in "allsvenskan" on Google and the first entry was Wikipedia for "HockeyAllsvenskan."
Called out may have been the wrong wording.never "called you out" I asked what relevance a soccer league had, because that's what came up when I did a search.
I admitted I never heard the teir 2 league, in Sweden called that.
If asking a question qualifies as "being called out" then you must have pretty thin skin.

Hard to take you seriously when you're arguing about a subject you clearly (as demonstrted by thinking the league he plays in was a soccer league....) have no clue what you're talking about.
Thank youNow that is rich. I never said he was playing in a soccer league, and you know that.
On Hockey DB the league he's played in for three or four seasons is listed a "Swe-1" which is not the SHL, and I've heard called a tier 2 league.
When you posted the league's name, and all I could find was a soccer league of the same name, I asked for some clarification, assuming I missed something.
You can be a smartass if you want, it does not bother me, but I'll try to refrain from asking you for further information, as there are others on this site that also know everything.

Good pointSorry, but the ordinal post he made was that he was playing in the "the Allsvenskan" , so that's what I searched, and that was NOT what comes up.
LMGTFY
Did someone say Allsvenskan?
I believe this is my cue.
Dahlen sucks.
