Melnyk is known to be very stingy, by "hands-on" here it seems to me that he just means that Melnyk is micro-managing decisions to keep his bottom line as low as posssible.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

So lucky to have him.

An obnoxious, stingy, insufferable micro-manager.

So he's basically the perfect boss if you're the Gimp from Pulp Fiction.

Are we sure we need this ice? Seems awfully expensive to maintain. Also guys, we're spending nearly 60$ per month on toilet paper. I don't want to institute a bring your own policy but if we can't get that number closer to 40$ you won't be giving me a choice.

 

[Scott Stevens]

Well, someone has to make the Randy Lee “hands on” joke. So go ahead.

1 PLY?! Team is not made of money! Let's get that down to half ply.

Sounds cheap

 

[JaegerDice]

It's fun to mock, but honestly, this is the direction the NHL as a whole is moving. Fewer and fewer owners are going to be the type to just hand the reigns to a GM and let them spend their money while they vacation in the Maldives year round, or whatever.

More and more owners are going to be more and more involved moving forward.

He is, anything he gets his hands on, he ruins.

Just going to leave this here...

I'm surprised he hasn't set up a fee to use the washrooms in his arena.

Well he did cut off the hot water, so I'm sure that's next.

 

[Breakers]

Yes....... Yes he is

 

[Inkling]

He's not cheap as much as he is cash flow poor (for an NHL owner) and suffering under the delusion that he can still make it work with a front office that consists of two men and a dog.
