Lol ,well they certainly wont have much money this upcoming season,and they can cry,blame and make angry faces all they want but the fans have spoken....
The cap outgrowing the market doesn't hold up when the increases in tv contract revenues for this team have outpaced the increase in the cap. Since 2011 when the cap was abot 20 mil lower that it is today our tv revenue has exploded, CBC was paying about 100 mil a year to the NHL while Rogers signed a deal that started at 300 and escalates to 500 per year. NBC's extention in 2011 also tripled its fee to the league, and the sens regipal deal with TSN went from 200k a game (roughly 10 mil CAD a season) to an escalating deal that would average over 30 mil a season. Even taking into account differences in the Rate of exchange were lookong at roughly a 25 mil increase in tv revenue to offset a 20 mil increase in the cap.these players stuck around under EM did they not? Could be the cap has outgrown the market and unless they find away to fix the issue between the haves and the have nots it’s only going to get worse.
How many summers has Karlsson spent since the trade? And what’s the weather like compared to winter?

Yes it’s super lol when it causes them to be unable to pay anyone. The only ones crying will be the fans.
The owners are not making billions and stealing it all away, the money generated supports the players and not much else.
But hey be proud and think it’s funny then follow it up with laying the blame on someone else.
Yea exactly, we all know that businesses going cheap and blaming clients will attract more clients.
It's like if I owned a restaurant and I told you I'll sell you nachos for 40$ and then when I've made enough money I'll sell you steaks for the same price.
Guess what? People wont buy nachos for 40$.
Offer them a steak and they'll come. Hockey is entertainment. If you don't offer an entertaining product you'll lose fans. Don't keep the players fans want to see and you'll lose fans. Take off the most attracting items off the menu and nobody will come to your restaurant.
In what kind of twisted universe do you live? To have people come to your business you need to offer something worth paying the price. It's not to the fans to pay for a ****ty product so that *maybe* the owner will spend in a couple years and then finally offer a good product. People in life pay when they feel it's worth their money, clearly this is not. To make money you have to SPEND MONEY.
I'm not buying a ford pinto even though I know it's a piece of **** just because Ford could use my money to make a better and improved Pinto model jesus ****ing christ. Make a better model that doesn't blow up and I'll gladly ****in pay for it.
I also think this argument has been beaten to death no matter which "side" you are on (if any).Why are people still arguing with a poster whose response to evidence in a debate is to say "I don't care what you say, I'm right and you're wrong"?
Stop wasting your life arguing with people who flatly refuse to even read the posts you're submitting to the debate. I guarantee your time is better spent doing literally anything else.

Leave the gaslighting for another place, please. The sharp decline in attendance happened after the outdoor game comments last season, when the idea of blowing it all up was first floated. Not before. The penny-pinching caused the drop in attendance, not the other way around.I think supersens hits the nail on the head. If we don't support the team through the good and bad, we will remain a feeder team for the rest of the league. Look at the attendance of the Expos. They averaged 15,000 and consequently couldn't keep their players.

Melnyk should sell the team. Plain and simple. He and Dorion have turned the Ottawa Senators into the door mat of the league. Fans identify with their team and others identify them with their team. What has gone on the past 2 years has driven fans away. Many are embarrassed to call themselves Sens fans. These clowns have to go. Dorion can get on whatever media outlet he wants and pump their tires on how they will be this and that in just a couple of years .. I don't see it.. I am sure I am very far from being alone on that. These guys have screwed this team badly. Supporting them to keep doing it doesn't make sense. Its like if you give your kid money and they lose it and then you give them some more and they lose it again .. well pretty soon you are going to stop giving it to them.I think supersens hits the nail on the head.

Why are you sitting here telling people not to speak to others?
Super lame internet bully I suspect.
And yes I said “I don’t care what you say you do not speak for the CAF”. Thats on you not me, unless you want to double down on how you do again.
How can you not see it though?
Our superstar prospects that couldn't even make the Calder playoffs are going to push us into unparalleled success!
That's a different matter. Hockey is still a team sport. You can have 3 or 4 above average prospects that can eventually make your team and make an impact but if they are surrounded by a lot more average to below average players .. well you are not going to be successful. against the better teams. They were one win away from comments like these not being made.
I mean, that's your prerogative? I've been unhappy since Melnyk came out on Twitter in support of Bill O'Reilly. But if you re-read my post, I specifically mention the "sharp decline". One or two people having issues with the organization does not a sharp decline make.Disagree I've been unhappy with them as a former season seat holder since game 3 against pittsburgh when we went to OT and greening scored to win.
My post was pertaining to the Belleville Sens vs the Ottawa Sens. ..Mmm idk are we even one win out of 31st?
