Yep. That's the extra depressing part.
Melnyk is a tumour that is slowly killing this organization. You can't treat this cancer, you need to remove it.
The only thing we can hope for is that he hires a guy like Brian Burke. Not that I'm a fan of Burke, but we need an experienced gm with the balls to say no to melnyk and rat him out to the media if need be.
Either that or somehow melnyk decides to sell ... I don't know. I'm not optimistic.
This is the most jaded I've ever been as a sens fan.
Even if I just accept that this season is a wash, and Colorado is getting a top five pick from my favorite team ... It's hard to get excited going forward.
If melnyk couldn't find a way to keep karlsson ... What hope is there for any other potential star player here?
Guys like karlsson don't get traded. The team that drafts them finds a way to make it work.
The fact that the Sens traded him at all is completely disheartening. And then add the return into it ... There is just no positive spin on this
