I'm sorry you can spend 100M over the cap, but EK is gone, and you will never be forgiven POS.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Last time Melnyk was in the limelight, Karlsson was traded the next day (or was it the day after?)

Ruh ROH

 

[Masked]

So Bettman's planning a 4 year lockout, I guess.

Duchene and stone trades incoming....damage control attempt

 

[Sun God Nika]

unparalleled success

f***ing clown.

 

[armani]

Question is, was Boro holding the mic while Melnyk delivered his eulogies on Stone and Duchene as Sens players of the past?

 

[The Lewler]

He literally gives the same stump speech every time.

 

[Acidrain66]

This team is done.......

 

[Sensung]

Sorry Eugene, you’ve already played the “I’ll spend when it’s time to compete” card and (like everything else out of your mouth) it is complete and utter BS.

Take your snakeoil elsewhere. No one is buying this crap.

 

[Beville]

Why only 5 years?

Chump

 

[Karl Prime]

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[DrakeAndJosh]

Prove it. You can start by signing Duchene and Stone.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Prove it. You can start by signing Duchene and Stone.

Whoa whoa buddy. He said 2021, not 2019.

 

[Super Cake]

Where is he going to get the money from?

I call bs.

 

[Spartachat]

Can we get that down in some sort of legally binding contract?

 

[Sureves]

Umm what about, you know, NEXT YEAR WHICH IS 2020!

This quote basically says “we are trading the 3 UFAs momentarily, but please buy tickets I promise to spend a lot of money in the future, just not now obviously.”

[HavlatMach9]

I'll believe it when I see it.

If I saw it, I wouldn't believe it.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Why only 5 years?

Chump

This I have less an issue with. As the game gets younger and the big name players get insane money right away, it makes planning far ahead impossible.

I'd like to think we should spend to the cap every year but that's not reasonable, and probably not a good idea in the long run, we should value flexibility higher than most teams.

 

[swiftwin]

It's a lie. He's a big fat liar.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Struggling with ticket sales, Euge?

 

[Acidrain66]

Sure, he will go to the cap...after the following year gut the team. Same old B.S

 

[Tuna99]

In Toronto he makes a promise to Sens fans, and the man wonders why no one in Ottawa likes him.

He’s also made this promise before and broken it. He’s completely out of touch

 

[SensBrawler]

I wonder what Melnyk's definition of "close to the salary cap" is.
