Rumor: Senators sold to the Kraft Family?(upd: no)

[Deku]

I've never believed so little in an internet rumor.

I am extremely skeptical too but it seems so absurd that I can't help but be intrigued

 

[CupInSIX]

I swear to ****ing god... if this is fake I'm going to be so ****ing pissed.

I wouldn't get so excited anyway. There's no guarantees Bettman would put a relocation restriction beyond 5 years, and a US owner might want to move them to Markham or Hamilton/Burlington.

It's a fun rumor no doubt, but to me the randomness means I'm even more skeptical. Usually if a billionaire owner of an NFL club was sniffing around trying to buy an NHL club, we'd have gotten something more official from a hockey reporter/insider/blogger first, even if just an overheard rumor.

I won’t be too bummed if it’s not real. A family that owns a bunch of New England teams buying the Sens would make me uneasy about an eventual relocation to Hartford.

Also Kraft seems like an even bigger POS than Melnyk.

I had a post deleted for “NATD”. What does that mean so I don’t do it again? Lol

It means "Not Adding To Discussion".

This is one of the best sale rumours yet. Robert Kraft lmfao

The timing after the NY Post story makes me go all kinds of ???

 

[Contenderorpretender]

Someone on Reddit said Robert Kraft was spotted at the Elgin hotel this week.

I don't believe it... But if we're going to let the rumour train off the rails, let's make it a 40-car derailment over a cliff

Of course he'd be at the Elgin, there's a "spa" off laurier. Not that I would no from personal experience or anything ....

I will say this much, this is a pretty ingenious way of starting a rumor. Creating a snapchat account under Robert Kraft's grand-daughter's name and using that picture/emoji is just subtle enough to get people riled up. Most people would go for something more obvious.

It's so obscure that people go running in two binary directions immediately:

#1. This is too obscure and dumb, it's an awesome hack/troll job.
#2. This is too obscure and dumb, it's gotta have legs, because real life is f***ed in 2019.

Thank you!

Hello excitement, my old friend...

 

[The Lewler]

I love that every time this happens, you could be posting in one of the most legendary threads in the history of HFSens, or everyone quietly packs off and shuffles back off to the GDT thread to nurse their wounds by debating the usage of Sabu.

Don’t believe this to be true. Paul Allen owned the Seahawks and Portland Trailblazers if i remember correctly.

Edit: Maybe he was part owner, not sure tbh

Robert Kraft himself owns an MLS team and an OWL team.

I'm so torn on this. On one hand, I hate Melnyk. On the other I loathe Kraft. Let's not forget this guy is wrapped up in a human trafficking scandal. Dude is an actual monster.

A sale also needs to approved by the BOG and they haven’t had a meeting since June.

Another rumor eaten up

 

[Daffy]

Do we know for sure that the account is actually his granddaughter?

 

[Langdon Alger]

So, is this legit or not?

We literally don't know anything.

 

[hockey20000]

anyone found out if thisis false yet lol?

 

[2CHAINZ]

It has to be real. Ottawa has some great "massage parlors"

 

[Mark Effin Stone]

So, is this legit or not?

seems like only time will tell my friend

 

[Slack]

Kraft is a New England guy through and through. Makes zero sense for him to have interest in the Senators. And if he did, it would be bad news for us.

 

[Crosside]

Why would she be at the Ottawa senators fans fest, seriously? I’d highly doubt she is a sens fan

Maybe the deal was close to be set at the time, and she want to look at is investissement

lol I love those posts.

Hey guys, seriously, it's been 2 hours since this completely random rumour was posted. What's taking so long? Is the team sold?

Sorry for asking a question.

I was really wondering if the account is legit. Some say it is, some say it’s not.

Mister Kraft's pen is stroking the last signatures on the sale contract.
