This article should have been released instead of the cringe-worthy, never to be forgotten video. Shows you the value of articulating a plan to someone who can communicate effectively and having Melnyk keep his mouth shut.

Things that stood out:
We'll see if the new GM is an analytics guy...
Also said that the the projected lineup is:
Dzingel - Duchene - White/Batherson
Tkachuk - Pageau - Stone
Ryan - Smith - Boedker
Paajarvi - Chlapik - Pyatt

Ruszkowski acknowledged that the reception from the video had not been overly warm, but firmly said that was merely a “first step” in trying to change the narrative around the team.
The organization did try and clear up one misconception from Monday’s video, involving Melnyk’s suggestion that 10 new players would be on the roster for opening night of this season.

In particular, Dorion said, the club would move away from a passive approach and deploy an “unrelenting” forecheck.
According to Ruszkowski, the club is working diligently on a plan for a permanent logo for the 2019-20 season — and he did not dismiss returning to the original 2-D Sens logo or moving forward with the Heritage O version.
