starting a new thread to discuss the fireworks that I sincerely hope will result from this weeks NCC meetings:
Link to agenda and webcast:
| National Capital Commission
Melnyk is in town and NCC CEO Mark Kristmanson suggested in November this will be a Milestone meeting. To me the issues of Ownership and Lebreton are by far the most important surrounding this franchise. Discussing boucher, dorion, trades, all pale in comparison because the cancer in this team starts with eugene Melnyk. The senators' survival, IMHO depends on a change in Ownership and an arena at lebreton.
Are there any predictions for thursday? I thought of 4 possible outcomes:
1. NCC will say very little (despite the milestone comment in November) and we'll learn next to nothing.
2. They will say that they are starting discussions with Devcore (unlikely but possible)
3. They have an agreement with Rendez-Vous-with Melnyk remaining as Sens owner
4. They have an agreement with Rendez-Vous-with new ownership structure.
Personally, I am hoping to see a Desmarais/Laliberte purchase of the Sens, partnering with Ruddy to develop Lebreton. I don't know how likely that is, but I think if we got that, this franchise will be a force to reckon with 4-5 years from now.
