Well I wouldn't call it fantastic, it's more sad than anything.
I do get your point though and it could become a positive.

So, if there is no hope for the Lebreton deal, what does EM do? Not what should he do, but what will he do?
Continuing at CT while losing money doesn't seem to be an option, or?

Ya a new group might build a new arena, but they might not. If they don't we're absolutely f***ed. Or they do, and Melnyk continues to be a stubborn asshole and keep the team in Kanata until it bleeds so much that it folds.
But yes, it definitely could work out way better, all depends on Melnyk really.
IF and it's a big IF this is the end of the Rendez-vous partnership, this is great news not just for the #MelnykOut crowd, but for everybody (except MySens). I don't believe Melnyk can continue to run the franchise at CTC long term and I don't believe Bettman will allow the team to move so maybe a sale can finally happen.

He just has a phone call to make first before he gets in here. Need to know which way to spin it.

How long until the NHL realizes that this opportunity is being stripped from them and would need to intervene. This is exactly the kind of opportunity they have been waiting for since this organization has come into the league.

This is assuming the NCC proceeds with a bid that includes an arena. If it doesn't, then the Sens are royally f***ed.

I honestly don't think there is any turning back on a downtown arena. It will be built by someone and the Sens will play in it. It just might not be for 7-10 years which was likely the timeline anyways.
Wasn't the rumour floating around that his partners may have been behind the recent loans and are using all of that credit to push EM out?

Not really. Eugene Melnyk owns one of 31 NHL franchises. The NHL works for their brand and franchises as a whole, not for individual owners.
Pro sports leagues have forced out owners before if they aren't acting in the best interests of the league, and it'll keep happening in the future.

Watson asked if he thinks Melnkys group can pull this off.
"Well we need to see some actual evidence." Lol

BOG real owner of the NHL, they can kick out Melnyk if he is not living up to standards. Why continue to share your revenue with Melnyk when he is guaranteeing a loss each year? When the Sens loses money, it affects all franchise owners and the value of NHL the business entity as a whole.

Not surprised that there's infighting between the Sens and Trinity.
Can't wait for Count and mysens to come in and spin this as proof of Trinity being in the wrong and honest Uncle Euge being the victim :p

Cue a sudden interest in Trinity Developments' role in this deal by random teen girls on Twitter.

If I was a on the BOG and saw Melnyk f***ing up a deal that would increase his franchise value (and all others), I'd be pissed.
This is such a massive opportunity for the league and the city. If he can't get it right, he needs to go, and I'm sure the league and BOG would agree.
