"Strong local ownership" sounds like an oxymoron. Any uber-rich people in Ottawa?

Terrence Matthews. He`s worth a few billion. I doubt that he`d have any interest in owning the Ottawa Senators.
Maybe the Shopify guy, he`s now worth $1.2B.

well that throws a wrench in your master plan on how to save the team and keep EK65

Denial is merely a negotiation posture. I believe Bettman is aware of the groups attempting to purchase the Sens. His saying that the Sens are not for sale is his supporting the position of the current owner. He can say nothing else.

Maybe never being in position leads to more goals?

honest question, at anytime has Eugene ever given the impression as an owner that he would ever put himself in a position to appear weak or appear he is compromising?

No he is a loud mouth and wants to act like he is one of the most powerful owners in the league. He wouldn't engage in any sale conversations that gives him the perception of being hard done by.

Now with the Alfie comments being said that were off the record, hes the kind of guy that wouldn't sell the time just out of spite. I feel bad for some Sens fans bc you legit know that you won't ever have an organization willing to go to the extremes to try to win. It will be mediocre for another decade with Melly

Karlsson was not good for the first 30+ games of the season. That had nothing to do with the poor goaltending. He often was out of place, partly due to his reduced mobility from the injury.

He seemed to settle in for the last 20 games or so and is getting close to being 100%.
