Because the Senators suck?
- Aaron_85

Because Boucher is the devil and Chabot playing 30 minutes a night and Colin White on the top line would make them contenders! Plus Turris is a top-10 centre in the entire NHL and was the heart and soul of the team!

SCREW YOU, FLYERS FAN!

Typical d-bag Flyers move, coming on here to gloat...

...wait a minute.

This is actually pretty objective and well-thought out.

Are you sure you are a Flyers fan?

The Wings could have 40 shots on Limbda and they still wouldn't score.

Because those are their only problems.

I would think Dorion is trying to rid contracts now so Melnyk has some money to buy presents for the holidays.

forgot about the videotron ( what a crappy name ) - I guess they can call it Le Nouveau Pepsi Centre. They should have a franchise, may piss off Habs fans, but hey.

Videotron is the sponsor, you silly you.

I agree with this - Forbes ranks them 20th in value among franchises at $420 million. With an owner that has known financial issues, a team like this will bleed money if they fail to make the playoffs. Future not looking so hot for them. That $420 million figure smells even worse when you consider that Seattle will have to pony up a chunk of money north of $600 million for a franchise.

I wouldnt put much into those actual numbers myself.

the fee for the next franchise to go into an untested market is 650mil
id rather buy the sens for that money tbh.

just for reference the clippers were valued at something like 500 million and sold for 2 billion. Basketball is a different thing but thats a huge discrepancy

I can see Karlsson going to a team that really thinks this is their year and Hoffman can end up anywhere.

That first line of Iginla-Ribeiro-Parenteau will lead Canada to GLORY.

Actually not a comparable. Ottawa small market team - at best, LA Clippers in the second largest TV market in the US. Owners - Melnyk - financially in trouble, Balmer - richest sports team owner in the world. Former CEO of Microsoft and their 30th employee hired, has lots of shares of Microsoft in his portfolio and it doesn't hurt to own a team in Silicon Valley for such an owner.
