Did anyone else picture Mike Myers as Dr. Evil when reading the thread title ?

 

[Alex1234]

OUCH lol

Jesus...and I hate getting my taxes reassessed...I couldn't imagine getting that served up to me! 1 BILLION DOLLARS, wow. I know this is normally settled out of courts and generally the quoted amounts are far and above what is normally decided on but I feel that this would be crushing for EM to swallow. Beginning of the real end for him?

Ottawa is a city built to make deals, filled with people who are trained to compromise and agree, and these BOZOS are during each other as if it’s a schlong measuring locker room show down.

Losers all of them

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Good stuff!

 

[Engineer]

Sorry guys, nothing to see here.

Garrioch told us that Melnyck has a strong suit and wouldn't sue anybody otherwise, this is clearly smoke and mirrors from the other party, because Melnyck is going to easily win. Remember, Garrioch reminded us that he wouldn't want to be on the other side of a legal battle with Melnyck.

bwahahahahahahaha look at this goof

He wants to make all the profits without spending any money of his own.

 

[alfstheman]

30 Years free rent? While paying nothing to build the arena? Really Melnyk... no wonder everyone wants out of Ottawa with this cheapass. What kind of proposal is that?

Expected. Would like to read more. The mayor said that initially the Senators looked for city money, but that ended long ago, allegedly.

 

[GrantLemons]

To the relatively untrained eye, this lawsuit seems to hold a lot more weight than Eugene Melnyk's.

 

[DaveMatthew]

Melnyk files lawsuit: "He obviously must have a great case, nobody would file a lawsuit otherwise."

Ruddy files lawsuit: "This is just a ploy, he's filing a lawsuit with nothing to go on."

Just wait for it.

With that said, Melnyk/Lebreton is effectively dead. I'm curious to see how these suits unfold, but I wouldn't expect any answers in the short-term. This will be long and drawn out, and the Senators will be the ones who suffer.

Can we really expect Melnyk to hand out $140 million worth of contracts in the next 7 weeks with all of this uncertainty?

Yup.

I dislike Melnyk as much as the next guy, but if it meant adding revenue to this team anything is worth it. Lebraton was one of the only realistic light at the end of the tunnel scenarios around.

Sens are going to twist in the wind like a flag in a hurricane.

A poster called this last week. Kudos to you sir.

Nothing surprising here to me, i now believe he has been using this tactic from day one.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Only Melnyk would have prime real estate land gifted to him with potential to make millions of dollars, but it ends up in him getting sued for a $1 Billion dollars by his partner and the deal getting scrapped, only Melnyk.

 

[Senscore]

This is shocking. Melnyk has always seemed like such an upstanding and straightforward businessman.
