NCC terminates Lebreton deal : Mediation to save the deal underway

[Pancakes Pancakes]

Cause I can't even enjoy one game played with one new hopefull player without complaints he was the wrong draft pick or it will ruin him, or what ever. I'm super cranky in general and I was fairly confident that Stone would stick around, I guess I'm just looking for trouble all around. Nothin personal.

You know, you could just not read HF boards and you won't have to deal with the complaints.

Melnyk enjoys the CTC profits and being the laughingstock of the NHL owner community.

I doubt he enjoys it, I would guess in his mind everything fell apart when he got sick so now he is way overboard with micro management and has zero clue what he is doing.. Either way the deadline is 4 days. I wonder if he s finaly going to sell. Some days I wish he got the gambling goin, he would have more cash and something else to keep him busy

There has been nobody here thinking that the team couldnt use a refresh ,or thinking that a new ownership group coming in should spend like drunken sailors...What we want is to be assured that the team will be properly funded from rebuild to championship title...Not just with players but with good front office staff and coaching at both the nhl and ahl levels...Its really not that much to ask for what this city will return

How exactly do you get what you want...properly funded from rebuild to championship...without someone spending like a drunken sailor?

It doesn't seem possible at this point that this franchise can be operated in the upper half of the league expense wise without bleeding money

We are allowed to be pissed off ,but you are trying to make something stick that really isnt there...Everybody here loves the Drake ,and knows he is one of our best prospects

Making something stick that isn't there....interesting words....you're on record with the whole Melnyk uses the team as a personal ATM thing...something about a pot and kettle comes to mind here

Iam not the only one...besides nobody that has claimed to have lost the money EM has would still be owning this team period

A bit OT but what’s up with the LRT?

I moved away from Ottawa to DC for work and am no longer close to the issue. Are we heading towards boondoggle territory? Or are these all delays of the “to be expected” variety?

Doesn't really matter if you're the only one....you keep repeating it ad nauseum....how does this team do what you want without an owner having to spend like a drunken sailor?

Good news is we've started phase 2!

Bad news is, nobody knows when phase one will actually be finished.

Who the hell knows lol

The LRT could end up being the grand daddy of all boon doggles....seems those trains have trouble in the snow...

It's getting there. Slowly.

As someone who heads past the train yards most days, there's definitely a whole bunch of trains ready to go.

That's not even a clever side step

That's not even a clever side step

You claim that I want the team to spend like a drunken sailor .....Yet I havent stated anywhere that a rebuild isnt a good idea.....I want exactly what this fanbase deserves,an ownership actually trying to win

So what's the purpose of having a team then??

Being able to go out on a saturday night get drunk and yell at Crosby?

Enjoy the little things.

When some actual news comes out (which should be soon enough) we can unlock this thread or start a new one; in the mean time, this place has become a breading ground for bickering and flaming over the same debates that have already been made ad nauseum.
