News Article: Lebreton project

[Agent Zuuuub]

Technically the NHL works for Melnyk, not the other way around.

Well he has 30 partners. If the 30 partners all agree that Melnyk is losing them money and hurting the league. They'll force him out.

Or Melnyk will just go bankrupt without adequate cash flow. Seems like a good time to sell.

This updated article has some juicy nuggets.

Behind the scenes, three sources with direct knowledge of the negotiations characterized the major roadblock as Melnyk, whose bargaining tactics have bedevilled government reps and those inside RendezVous who have been involved in the talks. No one is quite sure what Melnyk’s end-game is on LeBreton Flats, they said
The sources, who didn’t want to be identified because they aren’t authorized to speak publicly about the negotiations, said Melnyk has been trying to avoid paying for the arena.
“The expectations were spectacularly unrealistic,” one source said.

Asked if DCDLS is in the picture again, Devcore’s JP Poulin responded by email, “We’ll see what happens. Stay tuned.”

Is anyone honestly surprised here?

 

[DaveMatthew]

Surprise, surprise, Melnyk doesn't want to, and probably can't, pay for shit.

Just wait until Ruszkowksi's press release tomorrow to try and change the narrative. "The Senators are pleased to announce that Mr. Melnyk has been approved for a new Visa Avion credit card. This new source of credit reinforces Mr. Melnyk's financial stability and will allow him to purchase lunch for Mr. Ruddy at the next round of negotiations. We are confident that in return, Mr.Ruddy will fund our arena."

Sounds like Melnyk has read 'The Art of the Deal".

Ruszowski is such a greaseball. Hi Nick I'm sure you're reading this.

Is anyone honestly surprised here?

Nope.

Thankfully Lebreton will be built without this idiot and we can all reunite in support of the new ownership.

 

[Masked]

Is anyone honestly surprised here?

There will be some here who will feign surprise.

Classic Melnyk, always good for a hoot

Leaf fan from Brockville, this reminds me of the Raptors/Leafs dueling arena plans.Someone close to me and the negotiating said relax, this is big money dealing going on here, all of a sudden it comes together. And it did, what resulted was MLSE. Hopefully that’s what happens in Ottawa.

A Boro Melnyk interview is definitely required to get the straight goods on this

I heard some stories about him from some friends who work at TOH. Apparently he's a pretty high functioning idiot.

Would love to hear these.

Pretty much the same thing he has been doing with the team since he became owner.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

This fiasco needs to f***ing end already. It’s getting old. Sell the damn team.

 

[Stylizer1]

He's waiting for expansion money. What about TV money?

It’s amazing how often Melnyk has these “conflicting ideologies” with people he works with.

Must just be unlucky with his partners. It can’t be him, no.
