that is calculated from caphit, but in actual money it's less, and I'm too lazy to calculate it/can't find the total on capgeekcapgeek has us at 56.4 million as of today

Does anyone know what their original TV deal was worth? Can't really make an inference over whether this will expand their internal budget if we can't compare this TV deal to the old one.
Sorry, I meant their TV deal before the one reported in this thread. Sorry for not being precise.
According to Garrioch's article on wednesday they got $125k per game from Rogers.
TSN is paying them $33m for at least 52 games. If we're conservative and say TSN shows 60 games next year that's ~$550k per game. Apparently the number escalates later in the contract as well.
Hopefully we don't have to hear any more whining about how the team "loses money" now.
It's not that I trust Melnyk, I don't, but I actually agree with him about the team. We have good management, a good coach, and good scouting. I also agree that we have good players, though they don't always play like it. Melnyk is also correct about the cap space. It's an asset that can be later leveraged to improve the team once we're ready to contend.
If the team is not playing well, it is not because we only spent 56 million. We could have spent 64 million and it could still suck. Spending money doesn't mean wins.
I also agree that we have some minor league guys would could be in the NHL. Hoffman/Stone/Pageau/Da Costa, etc.. Murray is trying to leverage that excess into a better player for our top-6 (not a rental) without adding a bunch of salary. This isn't an easy task however so we'll have to be patient.
I agree the organization has a lot of good things going right now. But it doesn't mean **** until you win some playoff rounds. Talking like melnyk does while out of a playoff spot sounds real dumb and arrogant to me.
I'd prefer to not hear about how great everyone is until they start winning consistently and carry it through to the playoffs. as it is we are an average team in a league of 30
Haha, it's ok, I was just joking around.
For real, though, didn't they report that the old expiring SNet deal was ~$7mil/ year?
Chipman suggested the Sens have likely negotiated inclusion in basic cable packages into their TSN regional deal. Says Jets will want the same in time. Does that mean the end of paying for TSN Jets?
On the Canadian dollar: Chipman said that the NHL CBA cushions 85% of Canada/USA currency fluctuations.
This type of bullying is exactly why you got your mod powers taken away
I'm glad it's TSN. More Duffy, Mackenzie, and Dreiger, and less Kypreos and the other clowns.
I can't stand Aaron ward or Jaime mclenan though. They never have anything Good to say about the sens. I'd rather be waterboarded than listen to those a$$clowns.
I would think or at least hope there's some kind of clause in the contract that ensures any additional revenue has to be kept within the organization & Melnyk can't use it for any non-hockey ventures.
Good back to the soviet union trotsky. Its his team. He is only shareholder. He can pay himself any dividend he wants.
A "mid market" team that is 25th in the league in cap hit (actually lower in actual spending) this season.Even Melnyk referred to the Sens as a mid market team now. Sens apparently benefit a little extra over other teams because of invasion fees too. The national contract is stealing away what was once their regional money, so they are compensated. I guess another advantage from having more regional afternoon games this year maybe? And as a mid market team, they will still be eligible for some revenue sharing because of the latest cba.
Euge bought the team, arena, and presumably some debt, 10 yrs ago for about $130 mil. It is now believed to be worth about $400 mil.
10 years ago i had about $1,000 in mutual funds. Lost most in the crash, recovering now. But if you bought a house or stock in 2003 for $130k, its now worth $400k, and you owe $100k on your mortgage, even though it had to be refinanced at a higher rate, causing you 10's of thousands in penalties and increased interest rates because you were dependent on revenue Bettman had put a stop to again and so were penalized in the financial markets, would you come here trying to elicit sympathy over your debt?
Are you trying to suggest that spending should be correlated to market size? We have the revenue generating capability to be considered mid-market and spend as much as required to win.
