Eugene Melnyk Pledges to spend near salary cap: FYOUS Edition

[Disclose]

im just here waiting for the Elias video

 

[God Says No]

Chris Stevenson today on Team1200 compared Melnyk to Trump.

 

[GoSenatorsGo]

Saw that on Twitter. I hope someone took a video.

I hope there is a video, it was a loud cheer and I swore I heard melnyk out chants.

Just a reminder, this isn't a politics board. There are other dark corners of the interweb to discuss that stuff, just not on HF.

As a fan of this franchise from the beginning I can honestly say that I’ve reached the point of not caring what happens from here on in.
I’ve gone from anger to learned helplessness to apathy and finally indifference.
I think the organization is in a self-destructive death spiral and there is no obvious, and readily available mechanism to deal with it.
I sense that the fan base, media and league are now coming to terms with this reality and hopefully conspire to, at some point soon, engineer a “hostile” takeover of the situation before it’s too late.

Off topic a bit, I’m currently at WWE at the CTC and Elias (wrestler) just said to another wrestler “You’re as popular in this building as Eugene Melnyk” a huge cheer bursted out and a melnyk out chant started... awesome!!

If this whole period of Sens history leads to a Vince McMahon-Eugene Melnyk TLC match, it might makes the the ordeal worthwhile.

The media? They won't do shit. Tamest bunch of cowards

I’m not referring to the irrelevant media that is local sports radio.

God that would be amazing

Could not believe it no.
Like who hired this guy??? Oh right. Why would we expect anything different.

Like, when melnyk is gone this thing needs to be destroyed passed the ground. New soil needs to be brought in.

LOL.

Clubhouse is the best. Chris is absolutely killing it with his super-quick turnaround on stuff like this.

Back to the future theme was a nice touch as well

The results of this poll speak to how utterly broken the relationship is between Melnyk and the fanbase.

We are the vocal minority though.

Some of the votes don't even make sense. variable26 voted both yes and no lol.

Well I’d say at least 9 votes make no sense whatsoever, but that is just my personal opinion...

Too bad you didn't include a "maybe" or "undecided" option. Wonder why.

 

[coladin]

I guess you never heard of "maybe"? I would have voted for both because many are not sure. Hence the yes and no vote.

This guy is a ****ing moron

It would be interesting to see someone do the math.

Here is Ottawa's first 4 seasons after a harsh expansion draft:

List of Ottawa Senators seasons - Wikipedia

What happens if we take those out? Even just the first two?

As for his pledge. It's likely more bullshit. If Stone and Duchene are walking how do we even get to the cap ceiling? We'd overplay for UFAs or we'd have to have some insane drafts several years in a row.... seeing as we don't have our first round pick this year.
