What is this? How can anyone be this wrong?
Well, the real world may hurt your feelings, FQL, but there are things such as business plans, objectives and such. Sure, fans will not come out but inevitably, they will come and watch as Chabot develops and becomes the anchor and other players roles change. Life goes on.
I know everyone thinks smoking Melnyk out of his bunker will be the solution here. I am not part of that group. I would love Karlsson to be a Senator for life as Dorion has stated, but without major payroll restructuring based on revenues incoming to sign him, it won't happen.
Find me an NHL team that has a player making north of 10M, and check their revenues or team success. I see Carey Price and Mcdavid. What are the differences to Ottawa? The teams both suck, but their revenues are a lot higher. And they play to full arenas. They have the revenues to justify the salaries.
So now you want Ottawa to have a similar player on a team that has 75% capacity? With 8K and falling seasons renewals? Why because FQL, L'Aveuglette think I'm stupid? hahahahahahaha
Stay home guys, stay home, it's a great plan! NHL owes you nothing. Melnyk owes you nothing. You wanna watch Karlsson? All the morons who stay home saving their bucks can still stay home and watch him play elsewhere. Enjoy!
