Ottawa Senators (present and past) TIDBITS & QUICK HITS!

I know two 10+ years season ticket holders who cancelled their tickets this year. Drop in the bucket I know, but when the die-hards are no longer renewing there are problems. If Melnyk doesn't meet gate minimums, what hope does he have to turn a profit given the pending lawsuits and loss of LeBreton. He's toast.

I agree 100% on what you’re saying. I also appreciate you coming in here and posting rumours. I don’t hear of any and spend little to no time on other hockey bords so it’s better than nothing. Simple logic dictates that Melnyk should sell his investment before it costs him more than he can get long term. It’s a simple cash flow analysis to see if he gets above the internal rate or return.

Now if he has half a team doing it’s job on the business side of things they can tell him that. Wether he listens is another story.

1 way apparently!

Krebs just tore his achilles, so maybe there is a chance he falls to us. Maybe. Wishful thinking.

Skate cut through a "cut resistant" sock. Why wear a special sock (and probably pay $50 for a pair) of it won't prevent your Achilles from being cut?

definitively wishful thinking.
he's that type of player that might have gone higher than he was ranked. now i think he's likely to go where he's ranked or at most fall at worst to the 12-13th position.

Sens should trade Boedker and Condon for Corey Perry #hottake

mmmmhhhh I’m not against this trade idea.

I don’t see Melnyk going for it but I like It. Perry could show the kids how to give it their all. There is a chance that he could bounce back too. Only two years on his contractleft. I’m not sure if Boedker and Condon do it. I think Anaheim could get something better back if they are willing to earn few mills off his contract. But if we had an owner with deeper pockets we may actually make it worththeir while to eat the full salary.
Maybe see if they have an interest in Ceci and get something back in terms of picks. Then you might convince Melnyk.

Good thinking!

Why bother?

I don't think it's actually official yet, but I'm all for bringing in d-men. Chances are this doesn't amount to much, but it's a relatively risk-free shot.

Same reason we would bring in Spezza. Leadership, close to home, and he may have a bit left in the tank. Clears Condon out of our system, gives useless Boedker a chance back in Cali, and helps Sens hit cap floor (and next year too since MacArthur and Andy will be off the books). Plus, we don't want the Sens to be good next year. Development year, get some vets in the lineup, and get a top two pick (Lafrenniere or Byfield).

I know what you mean, the problem is, if Anaheim - who sucks as much as we do (or close) - can't use Perry, he's DONE. You don't want to trade what could be a serviceable player for him, even though I don't like Smith.

Really, I think Perry's done.

According to the sens release on Twitter it is a two way not one way

Yeah, it wasn't official until today. 2-way with $300K AHL salary, $700 NHL, and $350K guaranteed.

Played for DJ in the OHL.

Even better

so not getting along with Melnyk will land you another job! How about that. I wonder if the opposite will be true for his Yesmen eh Dorion?

Anselmi hired by The oil.

Yes, one proves you have backbone and will stand up for your ethics and knowledge, while the other proves incompetence and layers of ineptitude.

One is sought after, the other is blacklisted.

I can’t wait to see the fall of Dorion. Scouting the junior ranks maybe?

Oh I think he’ll get recycled as possibly chief scout somewhere but never again management if we judge on his current record.
