I’m trying to help, just a fan voice. He’s a good bartender but a terrible D.J. What he’s serving I like, his hockey is excellent for the eyeballs. Andlauer brings an atmosphere around the team I find is fuzzy, the arena stuff is a constant nightmare, talking about the 1st round pick all the time, the OHL stuff I just found weird and you need a phoney hat to explain it to us why does this have to be weird it’s just an OHL team going to a good Canadian family shouldn’t need a map and a numbered hat to figure out why, and I found he committed the fat-head cardinal sin he came down from Toronto to tell us how great it is - don’t feel sorry for the city of Ottawa because Ottawa doesn’t need a hand up from Toronto, Toronto needs to stop taking itself so seriously it’s just a big city with nothing else going on, it has nothing to brag about except shits open late. The reason it could shut down for Taylor is because there’s nothing going on that matters, you can just shut it down in the middle of the day and nothing happens. it’s just 4 million people crammed together in small apartments who have better take out options then you, it’s not special. I love what Green and Staois and everyone below those two is doing, I find Andlauer is trying to be someone he’s not. He’s just a kid from NDG who bought a hockey team somehow, that’s enough for me just give it to me straight and Ottawa doesn’t need help from Toronto being something it doesn’t want to be.

What I would like is a franchise that doesn’t seem to living on a cliff edge all the time. check out being a Hab’s fan, theres not a constant drip off storm clouds with that team.There tons of drama around the team but it’s not board room stuff, you never hear about boardroom in Winnipeg or Vancouver, Ottawa the Sens boardroom is always there being played out by the owner. bad boardroom news…I don’t want to hear about it. just Buy private land and just build an arena there illegally the fans will understand Andlauers from Montreal use your mob connections to build it and the traffic cops can’t stop a determined construction team it’ll all over over by next winter

The 1st round pick gets brought up as a message to Betteman. The Arena gets brought up because he is constantly asked about it as irs been an issue for 8 years.

Hope to complete sale by the end of 2025. With a new government probably additional delays, as a new minister will have the portfolio.

NCC targets end of 2025 to finalize sale of LeBreton Flats land to Ottawa Senators

Talks between the two teams continue, NCC CEO Tobi Nussbaum said Thursday.

The Federal Government is effectively frozen until about June due to prorogation and the election that is almost guaranteed to be called for May.

Very little can happen for the first half of 2025.

They should just move to Bayview Yards instead.

Imo this is the team doing the right thing till NCC does nothing, and the team doesn't look bad when they have a back-pocket deal with the city for the yards.

Just hope they aren't sitting on their hands waiting for NCC. Which hopefully with the real estate experience in the ownership group isn't happening.

Municipal election in 2026 could delay things with the City if the Sens take too long to pivot. Andlauer is operating from a strong position now but that diminishes the deeper we get into 2025 if the NCC drops out and he ends up with one suitor, and campaign season looming at City Hall.

He needs to get a back room contingency plan going with Sutcliffe asap and then put his own deadline to the NCC, August 1st 2025 as the PR machine and season ticket drive is gathering steam before training camp, a clean 6 months from now.

If the Sens change course on August 1st and ditch the NCC Sutcliffe will then have a full year to do all the right things and get shovels in the ground so that he can campaign around the project. All the while Andlauer benefits from the pressure that Sutcliffe creates for himself to have the project as far along as possible before election night. In return, Andlauer waxes praise on the partnership with the City right through the campaign and peaking at puck drop on the season which I think coincides with election time.

Make it happen MA!
