Rumor: Stone done with Ottawa? (UPDATE: Stone's statement in OP and post #116)

[Stuzchuk]

I was obviously referring to Melnyk...

yup, both had said it... but for Melnyk, with the #MELNYKOUT poster and the 50% anticipated ticket sales reduction for 2018/19 (+ the merch) if he was complaining that he was losing money, I cant wait to see we'll have to say after next year, or the year after

Title should be changed or this should be locked.

My only hope is that Borowieki will be the one interviewing him then as well

Lock It up

No... TVA has always been like this.

hahah what the hell

"What I was told is that Mark Stone no longer wants to be in Ottawa" sounds pretty declarative to me.

He's saying this already happened. Past tense.

No amount of "context" is going to make that statement sound like his own personal speculation of what might happen moving forward if things don't improve.

 

[The List Of Jericho]

He'll be gone by the deadline, bank on it

Ya Louis Jean looking more like a Joe Louis on that one.

People are also so anxious for any kind of news story that they empower these nobodies.

 

[Horse McHindu]

As far as Mark Stone goes, where there's smoke there's fire. The fact that he only signed a one year deal speaks volumes.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

they wasted a top 3 1st overall this year for Duchene and he will be gone

what the fudge was the plan there

How much better is Duchene then Turris anyway?

 

[BatVader]

Regardless of who’s better. On a rebuilding team, would you rather have Duchene or Turris and a top 3 pick (Hughes)?

 

[CanadienShark]

Wouldn't blame him. Ottawa is a fantastic city, but Melnyk and the team are just a mess. If true, this shouldn't be taken as a shot at the fans or the city.

 

[llamateizer]

Turris is probably worse. OTT could've kept Turris, finish lower than 3rd overall and still have 1st round pick.

Well Dorion threw a bucket of water on it last night when he claimed that both sides were close to a long term deal but couldn’t get it done before the arbitration hearing.

That sounds like the words of a man trying to save face in the wake of an utterly disastrous offseason

 

[NobleSix]

All this commotion and ridicule over a 'fake runour'... and he'll probably end up leaving after this season anyway lol

 

[Willis]

With the Sens not wanting to trade within the East, I actually could see the Oilers making a play sometime during the season as they will have cap space with Sekera's injury. He is a Right Winger which is what the Oilers need and the salary is only for the year. Wont be much that would go to Ottawa due to him becoming UFA at the end of the year. But it would make sense. He is a Western Canadian and would probably end up on McDavid's wing. I don't think he would mind that change in playing situations.

 

[MetM]

Some guy in Montreal said he liked it there too...

 

[JT Kreider]

This is what the media was in 2012.

Oh the Bobby Ryan to NYR days

 

[admiralcadillac]

Hey BatVader maybeyou should consider you've schewed what was said as much as TVA that you're accusing.

 

[Deadly Dogma]

Yes!! Stone like it here!!, we don't suck.......wait damn!!
