Confirmed with Link: Randy Lee to be arraigned in Buffalo court

[Grizwald]

It's obvious a symptom of someone who's worked for Eugene Melnyk for far too long.

 

[ChurchOfAlfie]

Often times prosecutors will settle on "lesser" charges because they end up being much easier to prove in court. I have no idea what actually happened, but that could be a potential explanation for a discrepancy between the charges and any rumours floating about.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

Melnyk forced Dorion to trade for Burrows and sign him to a 2 year, 5 million dollar deal?

He extended him, no?

 

[Big Papi]

He deleted the tweet with the "extra" information.

never been a fan of Yost, the post you are referring to is yellow journalism at its finest.

 

[BondraTime]

He extended him, no?

10 months after the fact, sure.

 

[Senateurs]

Can Melnyk be recorded saying something racist so he can be forced to sell the team like Donald Sterling so we can put an end to this madness?

 

[JimmySpaetzle]

The Senators are really turning into the biggest cluster **** in the NHL.

No I don’t think they’re turning into that. I think they already have the title

As much as I want Melnyk out, I'm not sure how this Randy Lee incident is connected.

 

[Daffy]

Not to derail the thread but coaches are more related to Dorion's choice than ownership IMO. AS well as our current lineup.

Add this Randy Lee thing to the list.

Completely false. Dorion makes his choice for coach based on the funds we have. Who is the last experienced NHL coach we've hired with a track record?
This all falls on the owner.

Fun Fact: Bryan Murray is the only coach in modern Sens history that meets this criteria.

Every point except that one is ownership related. And yes it was a horrible trade from day one. Every team has made trades like that. Including Washington, who is in the Final.

“I’ve got a 19-year-old victim who thinks it’s probably a cool thing to get an assistant general manager of a hockey team in the car,” said Flynn. “How many times does a 19 year old get a chance to talk to a general manager of a hockey team and talk about the Stanley Cup and different hockey players?
“That’s kind of a cool thing. What’s not cool is what happened and so that’s why Mr. Lee is going to have to answer for his uncool behaviour.”

Who is this guy? Jesus.

Sure but the DA literally said "this isn't the crime of the century"

 

[slamigo]

The new PR guy suddenly got very busy.

Amazing. First day on the job. Lol.

So Nicolas, here's your office. The bathrooms are down that hall. The IT guys will hook up your computer and set you all up.
And let's see... what else?
Oh yeah, there's something on your desk about the Asst-GM I'd like you to take care of.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

What a classy organization we have.

What a moron.

It increasingly sounds like this is going to be highly embarrassing rather than criminally scandalous.

I suppose you could go check but when the team hired Boucher and then Crawford I think we had more head coach experience standing on our bench than 2/3rds of the league. I'm guessing on that but I suspect the guess is on the low side. it is not as though our current bench lacks experience and the 2 guys we hired both had successful seasons under their belt.

There's a lot of places to find fault but that one is not imo

[Pierre from Orleans]

What did yost tweet?

That eye witness testimony alleged he was beating his meat in the back of the car.

Probably had some Ambien. Is that one of the side effects?

From the Sun. It's the DA being quoted.

 

[OgieO]

Embarrassing, but maybe change will be good...

 

[Qward]

Tsn has videos with the DA. You get the impression the DA is like "I can't believe this is news worthy, but hey at least I get to tell the kids I was on Canadian TV!"

I'm talking head coaches. And no, Boucher doesn't count as someone who has a successful track record in the NHL. Every coach we hire is because they are the cheapest. Otherwise we would have hired Boudreau.
