More Melnyk: “I think the market here has to prove itself, or you have to make changes. We’ve cut everything to the bone in the organization. We are probably one of the thinnest management groups in the league. The next thing you have to look at is players."

Melnyk on relocation: "If it doesn't look good here, it could look good somewhere else. But I'm not suggesting that right now. If you open a grocery store and nobody comes, but one opens two blocks down and there’s a line outside, where are you going to have your store?"

Melnyk: "Here, we’re fighting every day to sell a ticket. Honest to god. And when you get to the 3rd rd of the playoffs and you’re begging people to buy a ticket, something’s wrong with that picture. How long can you underwrite a team? Like literally underwrite. Write a cheque."

the league won't let him relocate when they make literally hundreds and hundreds of millions in expansion fees, and when there are many teams who are worse off.

melnyk is clearly desperate, is unable to keep the team much longer. it's obvious that the city doesn't want him as owner, i'm pretty sure the league doesn't want him as owner, and it seems like even hte players don't want him as owner...............

everything right now, IMO, is pointing to an imminent sale

I honeestly just typed a rant hating on the Melynek comments. But what the effing point. Just sad.He's like the mother in law of a wife who is just awful. You love the wife, but you just tolerate and look the other way with the mother in law.

But these comments today are just out of line. The NHL really needs to step in and take a (frank)ing hold. They stick up for the (frank)ing Coyotes who have 7 fans. Do something for Ottawa!

(frank). Like first time ever the Sens have fun with the history of the team and this knob goes off ranting about moving the team. (frank)!

I'm tired of (frank)ing Sens ownership complaining about lack of support. Rod Bryden did it too. When I was an effing child. I wish I could be at every game. But I don't have a billion dollar networth. Like holy (frank). Do these knobs talk to real people? The actual fans?

Guess I needed to rant a little more. Sorry

the team needs an owner who can afford to ice a team without gouging the fans at every opportunity.

this ass clown is EASILY the worst owner in all of professional sports right now......he's approaching Harold Ballard/Al Davis levels of douchebaggery and incompetence

His comments also sounds like he isn't interested in a downtown arena anymore or at all. He won't spend extra money on the team, but will spend money on winning bids he has no interest in pursuing?

Guy is delusional. Has no idea how to bring actual revenue to a professional sports team.

He basically says he wants to move the team to Toronto with his grocery store garbage. He just wants the Leafs type of ownership/revenue. That won't happen. (frank). Sell the team. The NHL or NHLPA needs to start taking action. This is a circus now.

love the comments.

the franchise with the right owner would be amazing. a banner in the rafters.

fans are underrated af in this market and I hope Melynk is gone asap (I was close to him when he made these comments) on the other side of the ice....

I just hope it doesn't mean the team is leaving
