Oduya NTC? No problem. Thompson? Sure why not! Karlsson? Woah there slow down now.

Not surprised and this concords with what EK was saying to Simpson last night.
In other words, SensChirp and TSN1200 are still shills, Wayne Scanlan still has tons of integrity.

Nate Thompson? Really?
Jesus man. I'm hoping Sens fans don't have to live this nightmare for too long.

I suspect the next request for a liver may go unanswered.
It makes sense.... the team is going to rebuild within the next 2 years (look at their cap friendly every one is off the books next off-season). Their most prized asset is EK65. If he has trade leverage on his long-term contract, OTT likely doesnt get a good return - not that it mattered anyway considering the owner/GM we are talking about

Looks like a few hundred/a thousand or so short of a sellout.

Of course they didn't, Melnyk is brain dead.
Though I'll say the best move would've been to trade Karlsson before last season, as re-signing him would've simply delayed a much needed rebuild. If Karlsson re-signed with Ottawa, he'd be playing for a mediocre team for the rest of his career, and it'd be sad to see all that talent go to waste.

Absolutely not. This is a man that (among many, many other things):
- cannot afford the team he owns yet refuses to sell to anyone that can afford them, thus keeping a team, city and fanbase in a perpetual purgatory
- talks about relocation of his own team during an outdoor game
- constantly dumps on the city of Ottawa from his
- refuses to support a group of fans that contained at least one individual willing to help save Melnyk's life
- chews out the best defenseman in the world for a f***ing Uber charge
- forces a trade of said defenseman because he doesn't want to pay a Top 5 player in the world even remotely close to market value
He's not a nice human being and is an unspeakably bad owner...the worst of any of the major sports in North America.
I am a Leafs fan and I frigging hate the Ottawa Senators. However, I have a ton of respect and sympathy for their fans. NO fanbase deserves Melnyk and I'll cheer almost as hard as a Sens fan when his grip on this franchise is finally relinquished so that we can get our God-damned rivalry back.

They ended up giving tickets away for free to ticket package owners and season ticket holders.
I guess they didn't want the embarrassment.
As someone who paid for tonight's game as part of my selections, greaaaaaaat.

I'm confused, I thought they hadn't spoken in like a year? If he knew they wanted to sign and trade him way back when, then obviously it was his choice not to continue wasting his time talking to Dorion et al. Not offering a NTC is pretty f***ing obvious if the plan was to sign and trade, isn't it???
This seems like a pointless tidbit, tbh...more fuel for the fire though right? More useless sens news for clicks!

Come to think of it, I have to question the sanity of anyone who would want an NTC from the organization.
So I dunno.

Another day, another Karlsson and or Ottawa thread. This is getting ridiculous. All of this just needs to be put to bed already.

Can this Erik Karlsson stuff go away now? Between the contract stuff and the hockey wives drama I'm getting sick of hearing his name. The guy got traded so let's allow this crap to die now.
If his name pops up again let it be for something cool he does on the ice now that the season has begun.

You quote me, but don't say anything to maaco right above me. What is wrong with you, man? I'm allowed to voice my displeasure in a Karlsson thread.

theres just so many people who complain about clicking on a thread that they could just ignore. no one is forcing you to care or pay attention.
Nashville doesn't give no trade clauses, Rinne is the only one.
It's tougher on small market teams to give them out. If the finances change you have to have the flexibility.
