Sale of the Sens - the renewal WC let us all down...

[HSF]

Wouldn't Melnyk make more money off a sale by talking to multiple suitors ?

It seems odd and unlikely that there is no leak on this

I have to agree. My only hope is that because it's the SCF, all eyes are focused on that for now.

Again, no it doesn’t.

This deal is peanuts compared to many of the transactions taking place at any given time, and many of those aren’t “leaked” before public announcement.

People take this kind of money extremely seriously (and with the Sens we are talking about hundreds of millions, which again is small potatoes). You can’t time the market if the folks on the ground are running their mouths off. Not to mention the legal implications for the guys that actually talk.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

The new COO starting around the time the "announcement" was supposed to be made certainly throws a high level of dubiosity on the claim.

...unless Melynk is keeping a small percentage of the team? Like a (silent) minority partner? That way he can be 'true' to his claim of never selling the team (completely), yet also saving face by bringing in real owners who will invest properly in the team.

It's a long shot, but you never know.

 

[Silencio]

You would think that Yost would say something, or Brennan, no?

Well there was that recent Brennan column with the wink-wink, nudge-nudge "when...oops I mean IF the Senators are sold."

There is no way anyone who's buying the team would keep a Melnyck around, he's poison in this community, he literally provides nothing to your brand and in fact hurts it by being around. No one is going to pay $500 millions n and have this hanger on here hurting their bottom line.

Melnyck is done in Ottawa, he might not sell, it he'll never be seen in a positive light in this city ever again.

It does leave me a bit pessimistic though that Melnyk just hired a former colleague as COO. Hoping it’s just a favour.

My sister knows the new COO. He's an asshole of the top degree. If asshollery was a form of martial arts, he'd have all of the black belts....or brown belts?

Well he’s a friend of Melnyk...

 

[Xspyrit]

I don't really care who owns the team but if the sale brings this then I really care :

- Max budget : spend close too the cap, not afraid to buy out or bury a player AND don't sell assets for a financial advantage in a trade. Even be ready to do the opposite if it serves you (like retain on a player salary)

- Owner that uses a really good PR department so he doesn't say things publicly that get out of hand.

- Also more budget for a new arena, marketing department, scouting staff, etc.

As long as he gets the job done and doesn't make people cry I really do not care.

A COO who is an a-hole? I never would have guessed.

 

[Daffy]

Need an update WC! Lol

You need to find out if your friend was trolling you or not lol

Just gotta hope the Washington Ovechkins can finish it off tomorrow. If there's a sale, it won't be long after that, but don't hold your breath.

Does he give a good massage though?

Well.... not at first, but if you ask him stop, that's when the magic happens!

I'm a bit torn now... part of me wants Randy Lee to use this video as his defense. The other part of me wants him to be acquitted and then unceremoniously fired immediately for job related reasons.

As die-hard sens fans we have to laugh. The alternative is ... i dunno, if it's not funny it's just sad... better to laugh while we can. We're all gonna be angry in a month. I hope I'm wrong.

Sure, not angry now, but when you see the return from the Karlsson trade...

Prove me wrong Dorion, oh god please prove me wrong.

Here's to hoping... but I'll only believe it when I see it.
