Eugene Melnyk Pledges to spend near salary cap: FYOUS Edition

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

This reminds me of Michael Scott going to the shareholders meeting and makes up a 30 point plan one point per day.

He also said he would pay for the arena, but he pulled out at the last minute.

Thank you Burke !!

Every single time this man is in toronto he makes grand statements

 

[Karl Prime]

So I guess the only way he plans on spending to the cap is signing Stone and Duchene.

What a bumbling fool.

 

[Sens Vader]

I hope nobody ever pays a penny to this clown until he is a broke sucker forced to sell.

Get the f*** out of this franchise

Exactly like it

 

[aragorn]

I wish he would take a vow of silence.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

 

[Senscore]

I mean, he's lied countless times before but I think he's telling the truth this time guys.

Call it a gut feeling.

That's exactly what I was thinking of. I wonder if he did the twirl when he finished.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

He said we’ll spend when the time is right 5 years ago and he we ended up chasing our franchise player away.

I’m cracking up thinking about him doing the twirl

Ate spicy burritos didn't you?

 

[The Lewler]

The Sportnet guys stated the obvious.

#1 . This is clearly directed at Stone and Duchene. Credibility from ownership is an issue.

#2. It doesnt seem to add up in a realistic fiscal sense given what we know about the Sens finances and Melnyks recent track record. That said , if Melnyk is gonna dump cash in at a big loss thats definetly would be a change if he did it.

#3. Its all PR but again doesnt sound like a guy who is thinking of selling.

Around and around we go.

Only the best from Bert's Bar!

Hey we added players like Stalberg and Burrows when we were going for it!

 

[hockey20000]

LIAR. I Believe it when I see it

 

[Very Stable Genius]

“Could we spend more money on players? You could,” Melnyk said during a lengthy interview with the Citizen. “But stats have proven over and over that there is a road of less return because you’re starting then to pay for more mediocre players, especially in the unrestricted free agent market where everybody is scrambling.
“It’s no different than the horses,” he added. “You’ve got your superstars up here, then you’ve got the other 80 per cent.”

Hmmm......

 

[Mark Effin Stone]

oh my lord its off the charts

 

[justafan22]

Hmmm......

zero ****ing irony

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Haha I actuall voted yes

He made this statement at a corporate event. He can't back down from this and survive.

Hmmm......

That would be the fault of your shitty management team.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

I voted no, I don't think he keeps his promise.

I'll believe it when I see it, but IF that were the plan, its probably a smart trajectory. We desperately NEED that high pick for another high end piece next year and even the year after before trying to turn the corner.

Its encouraging to hear them acknowledge that the pieces needed are not yet in place and more work is needed there.

Would like to see some of those resources go towards more qualified management and coaching as well.

 

[Tap on the Ankle]

He said this a few years ago and look what happened. Attendance was higher back then too.
