How Would you Rate Melnyk's Promise for the Sens?

[McVespa99]

Well, he extended the last two guys to come up for new contracts, Chabot and White.

He also paid for Dadonov and Murray signings.

But yes, that's not enough to convince the Ottawa faithful.

Im not an Ottawa fan and its sure not enough to convince me....

Poll question should sum it up but I will re-inform for those that don't know.

Couple years back Eugene Melnyk made news by stating he did not want to do things the "Leafs way" and from 2021-2026 would spend to the cap each season, giving his team unparalleled success during that time.

So my question is: Does the outcome look better than the Leafs, worse, same, or too close to call

Well if you mean not winning any playoff rounds, then yes Sens can top that.

 

[Taluss]

If Melnyk does spend to the max, and most prospects pan out then I’ll say yes. I think they will have more success than the Leafs do from 2021-2026. However I can’t make myself believe that will happen with Melnyk at the helm. So I’m going with No.

I love how all the matters to Melynk is if the sens will be comparable to the leafs lol.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Lol as a sens fan I search up how old Melnyk is way too often for it to be healthy.

That shows how much I think about his ownership.

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

If the goal is to surpass the Leafs then all they need to do is win a playoff series with this current core. That really shouldn't be the goal though, the goal should be the cup.

Personally, I really don't care about comparing the Senators to other teams. Go win a cup in the next 5 years. That's all I care about.

Sens seem to do a good job at drafting and developing young players.

They seem to have a problem keeping them though, which is a bit of an issue.

Yes they do but i was being diplomatic about that part.

Which young players have they had a hard time keeping lately?

They couldn't get Stone once he reached his peak on a 3rd deal. That's pretty notable.

Yeah, but which Star player in the last 6 months did they lose because they couldn't pay?!
