News Article: Lebreton project

[Tuna99]

Guys, think we can Twitter-bot this Lebreton problem away?

 

[branch]

There’s about to be a bunch of twitter accounts with avatars of blonde girls explaining how this is the NCCs fault

You mean #1 Sens fans Aubrey Childress, Wiseman Lorenbg, and Swayze Casaresty aren't real fans?

Real fans of Eugene's money.

The common denominator for those scenarios is Melnyk not being in the picture.

At this point, that's probably all Ruddy wants.

Yep.

Okay, tin-foil hat time:

What if Ruddy only partnered with Melnyk to secure the Lebreton bid by having a guaranteed tenant for the stadium and always planned to try and force him out? Or perhaps Ruddy figured he'd at least get a minority stake in the Sens but upon working directly with Euge he decided "f--- no, this guy needs to go!"

 

[Silencio]

Yep.

Hmmm, in my fantasy Ruddy is more of a Hank Scorpio.

Yep.

Whenever people have to work directly with Melnyk, things go south. He doesn't have any more buffers.

For years, Bryan Murray was able to keep him away from hockey ops so the team still had a high-level of professionalism and direction. During the bidding process for Lebreton, it was Cyril Leeder who was driving things forward.

Both of those guys are gone and this is what we get. For all their faults, they were able to keep a lot of the crazy at bay.

 

[BatherSeason]

Coladin?? Ice-Tray?? Count?? Formenton? MySens?? You guys are rather quiet? No inside scoops you wanna share?

 

[Silencio]

Hmmm, in my fantasy Ruddy is more of a Hank Scorpio.

He would definitely put business hammocks in the Lebreton arena

Of course. I mean, he's going to own a stake in Lebreton's hammock district.

 

[BonkTastic]

Yep.

The real tin-foil hat theory is that the group that purchased and refinanced the debt on the franchise is led by Ruddy, and he has carefully orchestrated all of this to commit Melnyk to an arena deadline that would force him to make a decision, then call the debt in in the middle of the process.

I mean, it's a crazy theory that's almost assuredly not true, but that's would be the swan song of a crazy secret power play for the Sens I can hang my tin-foil hat on.

 

[FormentonTheFuture]

I thought Melnyk would sell either way, either by not getting lebreton or for getting it and having the value of the team go up. If they don’t resolve their issues in two months, I don’t see how or why he would keep the team.

Lol. Some poor freshman in Ohio is bragging about his girlfriend Aubrey Childress who lives in Canada.

That is dirty.

 

[CTC]

I just started watching House of Cards, on season 2 ep 2 and I feel like so much of what is happening with Lebreton could be following the same theme.
Hopefully no one is meeting Ruddy or EM down by the LRT...

 

[saskriders]

Please sell.

You are just hurting yourself at this point.

 

[SensFactor]

Wtf I was going to buy a condo at lebreton flats! This shit better still go down.

Spartycat

 

[Upgrayedd]

Hmmm, in my fantasy Ruddy is more of a Hank Scorpio.

I could see this, his flamethrower would come in handy once he gains control to smoke out all the remaining rats in the org....scorched earth in both a figurative and literal sense!

 

[Tuna99]

Eugene Melnyck wants to spend more time with his family. They've taken a backseat to hockey all these years.

Jesus. I would ride high on a wave of emotions. My loins would tremble and release all at once. That is just the kind of shit I like to see.

You'll have many many condos to buy at Lebreton flats. That's probably the only certainty going forward.

 

[coladin]

Looks like they are debating restarting the entire process.

In a way this could be good news, if Melnyk loses the Lebreton deal, I don't think he remains the owner for much longer.

Best case scenario for many involved is he loses Lebreton. Devcore wins it, builds an arena, and starves him out of all CTC events outside of hockey. It may still cost us our core, but that is what I can see happening.

Can you see the NHL bog,
really allowing this to continue??

Well, the current situation is not helping with keeping the core either...so #MelnykOut
