Just say yes, Eugene: Is Melnyk mulling sale of Senators?
Just say yes, Eugene: Is Melnyk mulling sale of Senators?

David Pagnotta of the Fourth Period reported that Melynk has “engaged in negotiations to sell the franchise” and has received at least one offer that’s being “considered.” Pagnotta’s report was published just a few hours after the Senators announced a $135-million financing program to combat existing debt.

Makes ya go hmmmm

He's running the team into the ground with a shoestring budget, apparently because he is in debt. He could likely get out of debt in a hurry by selling the team for much more than he originally paid for it. After all, as he said in his own words "doesn't want to waste a lifetime of working hard on a hockey team". :rolleyes:

If he would rather destroy a franchise and spite a city that helped save his life than get out of debt, then you can add "massive hypocrite" to the endless list of negative adjectives one can use to describe Melnyk.

Everyone wins if you sell for a fair price, Eugene: you're out of debt and Senators fans are out of a living hell.

Bill Daly acknowledged the offer, and acknowledged it was brought up at the Board of Governers meeting. He did not deny any of that, only saying it doesn’t mean he’s selling.

Now Melnyk and the Sens are denying there has even been discussion?

Doesn’t add up. Negotiation probably underway.

Interesting that Melynk called the report inaccurate.

He didn't deny possibly selling though... He could have said he's not interested in selling.

At least you'd tend to think this; with Melynk, who knows...

The rumblings have been going on here in Ottawa for over a month now. Some say it is just a matter of time.
