I would like to officially announce my status as a UFA hockey fan.

i am now entertaining offers from any and all teams not playing in Ottawa.

good locker room guy, lots of fan intangibles, good 2-way cheerer.....only a moderate homer. sometimes susceptible to trolls, but quick to recover.

looking for low salary, but long term

please make me an offer

Precedent on this site indicates when a fan leaves a team when it appears darkest, that team will soon appear to have a resurgence not seen in years.

So...

The Brassard trade to Pittsburgh leaves me with an inkling of optimism.

But overall, no.

- david22

Honestly it's unfortunate. Under Murray (RIP) they had someone who knew what they were doing. I'm not sure who the other staff were but they were good at drafting, scouting, building and had a professional demeanour that was respected.

Eugene has gotten rid of most of that. It's a skeleton crew that are being asked to do far too much and Eugene is making everything worse.

I honestly feel bad for the fans (Leafs fans suffered this for 20 odd years).

Edit: With the exception of Spatso and Dopps. I find it truly hilarious just for those 2.

so cringy

this video is going over real well
Who watched that and said.. YES! this is a good idea ..only Melnyk I assume.

so much nonsense in it.

- senstroll

"What do you think Pierre, should i film a video of myself talking to show the fans??" "Um probably not Eugene, thats not a good idea." "Wonferful, I knew youd agree with me Pierre, call a camera crew" " Yes sir Mr Melnyk, right away"

If Melnyck thinks that a total rebuild with all new players is what fans want, then the man is hopelessly clueless. Yes we want some youth on the roster. Yes we want a fresh start (which is what a new season always brings a chance for). We do not want to see our stars (read Karlsson) traded away so you can save some cash. If you can't afford a decent roster, sell the team or bring on a partner.

Here's a little fortune telling for you Eugene: If you trade Erik Karlsson, prepare to have nightly attendance somewhere around 9,000. If you think you have financial problems now, just wait.

Oh yeah, Uncle Eugene...The league will not buy your argument that you can't make a go of it in Ottawa so don't plan your relocation party just yet. The people of Ottawa love the Sens, they just don't like you.

Looks like crazy Geno was watching Oil Change reruns last night and got a little too caught up in the spirit of it all.

So, Tampa has announced a press conference for 4:00pm for a major announcement. Yzerman will be stepping down to be replaced by Julian Brisebois. Perhaps Yzerman might also announce his last block buster deal?

Fringe NHL player interviewing fringe NHL owner......

I honestly don't understand what they were thinking with this. His best tact now is silence. Let Dorion and Boucher do the talking.

Every time Melnyk tries to do something, it backfires.

I can't wait to see the empty building this year and laugh. There's no way he can continue as owner when we are averaging under 10K/night.

It really is one of the weirdest things I've seen in quite some time.

Is there a stipulation in Boro's contract that said he can't say no to this? I mean, players are often involved in PR campaigns.

Oh, I'm sure he was given a few extra bucks to do this. I don't think he was forced to do it.

They talked on the radio a couple weeks ago about how Boro was going to be the main PR player (ie videos/interviews etc).

Wow

Just when you think the guy can't get any greasier, he releases a video at 10pm with spoon fed questions from Boro? BORO!

This is so gutless on so many levels. Not only is he the worst owner in professional sports but he's also the biggest coward. Letting the kids play is great and all but you have to retain your top end talent. This stinks of an owner who can no longer afford to run an NHL team. The only thing I am looking forward to are the fans who will get tossed from the CTC because of the #MelnykOut signs. Already cancelled my half season tickets and I am not sure I will go even if I get free tickets because at this point, I will bring in the biggest/brightest MelnykOut sign you've ever seen.

(frank) You Eugene! Bleed this POS out of business!

- SENS 613


What do you mean gutless? Melnyk had his 6th D-Man on his payroll ask him all the hard-hitting questions that Sens fans have been waiting to hear all summer.

But I'm with you. DO NOT buy Sens tickets!! We all have to do our share and not buy tickets.

I honestly can't wait to see the dwindling fan attendance at the season opener and beyond.

Hahaha

I'm getting there myself. I don't think I'll stop being a Senators fan permanently when Karlsson et al are shipped out, but I will go into exile until Melnyk stops having a controlling share in the Senators (probably until he dies).

I live in Winnipeg, so bandwagoning is realllllll easy.... that said, I feel dirty as hell starting to support a team at its peak

|There is nothing wrong with choosing Boro, Do you really expect any of the bigger names to want to do this? I dont doubt they hate his guts lol.

Still cant help but laugh at Duchene. Left Colorado to go to a "Contender", Ottawa falls apart literally as he arrives and Colorado goes on to be playoff team

That would be good exept it will just cause the team to relocate. Dont think for a second that a Canadian Market will get the Arizona\Phoenix treatment from Bettman.
