GOAT BUDGET AINEC
With how f***ed everything has been this sounds like the ultimate white knight fairy tale.
I just can't get my hopes up anymore.
I just can't get my hopes up anymore.
Having this happen before July 1st would be the best thing to ever happen to this franchise, but it sounds way too good to be true for the Sens.This would be the perfect time for something like this to go down.
I wonder whats going to happen with the scouting and draft if the team is sold.
I can't imagine (hope) Dorion and Randy Lee being kept on under new ownership. So i'm guessing Trent Mann just gets the final say?
I don't know which will be a stronger emotion: the joy I'll feel for Wondercarrot if he's right about this, or the anger and depression I'll feel if he's wrong.
I’m not sure new ownership would mean a change in the GM’s chair, especially since Dorion just signed a three year extension.
I would hope we add to our hockey operations department though. We need more scouts. I know Dorion said he likes having a smaller staff, but I can’t imagine he’d be against more scouts being brought in. I also wonder if he really meant that or not. Maybe he didn’t want to piss off the boss, so he was just towing the company line.
Dorion is an NHL GM because of how cheap Melnyk is. I doubt that wealthy new owners would be too keen on retaining his services. I've alo been told that Alfie isnt a fan of the management.
If it's true, I won't eat carrots for a month.If this happens, I think we should all high five and hug wonder carrot.
If it's true, I won't eat carrots for a month.
So what did Alfie say? I missed that thread.
Wonder Carrot - I hope you are right. Please be right.
"We are hoping for a new owner" by "we" he meant himself and mayor Watson.
Then later that day Dan Greenberg, the Minto Greenbergs, tweeted "wow an ownership group involving Alfie?! That's something I'd definitely invest in!"
Thanks Bean. From Alfie's lips...
So Greenberg and the Cirque people? What kind of $$$ are we talking about with these two groups?
Cap ceiling money?
This rumour from late November out of montreal (Max Truman-dans les coulisses) is looking more and more like it was the real deal...
Rumeur : Les Sénateurs pourraient être vendus au début de l’année 2018
"Selon mes informations de l’époque, Melnyk évaluait (sérieusement) la possibilité de vendre son club d’ici le printemps 2018."
"Une source m’a confié il y a quelques semaines que si les négos venaient à échouer entre le groupe d’Eugene Melnyk et la CCN, il ne faudrait VRAIMENT pas se surprendre de voir André Desmarais, Guy Laliberté et leurs partenaires tenter de faire l’achat des Sénateurs. Oui, oui… Vous avez bien lu."
"
Par contre – et je vais décevoir plusieurs personnes de Québec – je ne crois pas (du tout) que l’option déménagement soit sur la table présentement (même si Guy Laliberté est originaire de Québec). Dans un cas comme dans l’autre, les Sens semblent être à Ottawa pour y rester. Du moins, pour encore quelques années…
Et si jamais ils sont vendus, gagez que l’on déroulera le tapis rouge à Daniel Alfredsson. #MonPetitDoigtMeLADit"
What happened to your "Melnyk will never sell" stance?(online Translator)
' According to my information of epoch, Melnyk assessed (seriously) the possibility of selling the club from spring, 2018. '
' A source entrusted me some weeks ago if négos came to fail between the group of Eugene Melnyk and CCN, you would not really have to catch to see André Desmarais, Guy Laliberté and their partners to try to purchase Senators. Yes, yes You definitely read. '
On the contrary – and I am going to disappoint several persons of Quebec – I do not think (of the whole) that option move is on the table at present (even if Guy Laliberté is originally from Quebec). In a case as in other one, Senses seem to be in Ottawa to stay there. At least, for still some years …
And if ever they are sold, suppose that they will unwind the red carpet to Daniel Alfredsson.
