[Agent Zub]

#MelnykOut isn't aggressive enough.

A boycott is the only real way we can hurt Melnyk.

You can't hurt a Melnyk, only a Melnyk can hurt you.

And what is the result of your boycott? What does it achieve? Loss of the franchise in Ottawa - a move to Quebec?

Why do you think that would happen.

So are you related to Pierre or Eugene?

 

[Yourkeyparka]

Logical result of no revenues for the team. Think the NHL owners would allow one of their own languish without taking action.

No sir - are you related to Donald Trump???

Don't believe you.

Come out of the woodwork after your uncle made the worst trade in Senators and one of the worst trades in modern NHL history, eh?

Melnyk would have to secure an arena elsewhere. He would also have to pay hefty relocation fees. He's too cheap for that.

In the event of a sale the NHL would force him to sell to people intent on keeping the team in town before being allowed to explore other options.

Owners don't have as much control of what their teams do beyond their offices as you may think.

LOL - my uncle from anotha motha ???? You are bonkers. Worst trades in modern history??? Your opinion. Yashin for Chara ? Joe Thornton to SJ ? Subban for Webber ? Drouin for Sergachev ? Larsson for Hall? to name but a few.

It's hilarious when this trade is objectively worst than over half the trades you listed, and actually proved the point that this is the worst Senators trade in history.

Really ? 2 NHL players - a recent first round pick, an AHL rookie leading scorer for his team, a 1st rouder in 2019 0r 2019, a 2nd rounder in 2019 and 2 more conditional...for an unsigned Karlsson. What did the Islanders get for Tavares from Toronto? Puhleaze.

Differing opinions - you cannot abide my friend...sad.

Yep. Been quite a few dead accounts coming back to life this summer and fall to play the trolling game. Guess some kids out there have too much time on their hands.

People around here think the NHL will save them from Melnyk, relocation, etc... that isn't true.

The banks will own the Senators and will look to get what they are owed from whomever comes forward.

Why do people use the Islanders as some measuring stick lol.

There is an almost universal agreement that the trade was bad.

Coladin,

We both know who is sitting on the sidelines waiting to come forward. I hate losing EK and if we have to lose Stone and Duchene that will suck, but the franchise will be much better off in the long run in the hands poised to take over.

Sorry, let me correct that for your delusions:
An NHL bottom 6 forward, 6/7D, late first round pick two years from now, a 0.7 ppg AHL player, Tkachuks best friend & underperforming 2017 1st round pick that doesn't make any top 50 prospect lists, and a bunch of 2nd or later picks (whoop de freaking doo)
For a 2x Norris generational defenseman whose skill level hasn't been seen in decades.

Yeah, the only trades worst than this joke of a return that you listed was the Thornton and Yashin trades.

New owners baby!!

Why? Because its a fact - Islanders got nothing for him. That's horribad. What would you have done ? Every other NHL team was asked to put their best offer out for EK - that was the measuring stick the Sens used...SJ made the best offer to date. Do you risk Karlsson injury at the start or during the season before the deadline? Look at Pageau for goodness sake.

Go ask the NHL

How do you know it was the best offer to date?

As our friendly neighbourhood COUNT would put it, do you have a link to show all the offers that were out there?

You do realise Stone - Batherson - Formenton - Alfredson were late picks. You have no idea how Norris will pan out - SJ scouts had a pretty great track record w picks - i'll trust them.

I respect your opinions generally and agree with some, but we are not in fear of relocation. The market has been declining for sure as fan apathy has grown, but I thing this year and summer especially has shown that the market is turning away because of the owner.

Bettman isn't blind, he knows why the numbers are low in Ottawa. The market can and will support a team just fine, a small market team, but one that can be competitive. It's taking a nose dive due to ownership. He won't pull a team from a market that can support a team, especially not in Canada, and especially since he's not ready to bring more teams to Canada as of yet.

If EM is forced to sell due to debt, I have no doubt that there will be a few people in line right away to buy, and there will be no chance that GB will let a new owner move the team. He won't have to try half as hard as he did in Arizona.

Oh sure - wer'e going to take a worse deal ? Delusional.
