Speculation: #Melnkyout...The time is NOW!

[BatherSeason]

Ottawa is some pouty fans,

"Some fans"..lol"

You are so right, the only hatred of the man comes from HFBoards...

There was a poll up yesterday on CTV Ottawa asking fans if they are Team Ruddy or Team Melnyk and of course, I think like 80% of the people polled chose Ruddy, and that is after the Melnyk propaganda machine has been on full force for over a week now AND before we even get a look at Ruddy's countersuit.

Melnyk had some 200+ votes. Pretty easy to create bots to in an attempt to skew poll results.

Also, it appears that CTV Ottawa removed the poll, because of course they did.

That will really help him sell tickets and the illusion that this firesale is a rebuild...

No it wont. At all, but the team will stay on a budget so ya your boycott will do great things

Ok so why the twitter bots? Why all the new marketing....... Why do any of it at all, your argument has more holes in it than Condon.

It will hurt his revenues even more...so the boycott will do exactly what it is designed to do. Thanks for pointing that out.

He'll still have the same three choices.
1) Use his personal wealth to cover the losses. --We all know this will NEVER happen.
2) Borrow more against this asset. -- IF he still has the ability to add debt, then he can raise his expenses even more and lose more over the longterm as he services this debt. The fact that he is putting out press releases proclaiming his loans shows that he is reaching the limits of this model.
3) Sell the team. This is the ONLY way Eugene makes money.

We all know what the greedy bastard will choose. The boycott will help speed up the process by making 1 and 2 less palatable.

The fake ass try to make EM look worse then he already does twitter bots? Just angry fans

The team was on a budget anyway, boycott or not. Its why Melnyk can't go to another city; he can't operate in a new market on a budget and we know he won't use his money.

Nah, too simple. It's definitely EM's people posing as angry fans posing as Twitter bots.

I love that the current owner has been exposed for the snake oil salesman he is to all honest fans, furthermore it is satisfying to see the 4-5 fans of the owner on here arguing sadder and sadder points in a clear losing fashion and acting like anyone with a brain can't see right through their very basic gimmick, looking forward to getting back to discussing the sport with actual long time fans of the team itself.

 

[bert]

I never said a word about how it would be evaluated nor did I argue anything remotely close to that. So I think you might be lost. If my opinion is different than someone elses that is not talking down to them.

Enough with the insults.First of all i said sell. Second you are making **** up. Yes they know the issue in Ottawa is some pouty fans, they dont give a crap what he said during the lockout thats just grasping at straws, i doubt you could even find an owner that remembers what he said, half of them probably have no clue he said anything.
If you think any owner gives a crap about EK or the ALF or what EM said that one time you are dead wrong. They are not on your side they are not out to get him and they don't care what he spends his budget on.
You act like you and the owners are going to get that EM, it's absurd

....... Yes they will care, analysts look at all variables when evaluating markets. The season ticket holder attendance has dropped 300% but you dont think that they will look into why..... Thats what you are saying. Straw man argument just falling apart.

It's going to be interesting to see who disappears from this forum after EM sells the team.

 

[NyQuil]

Well, I gave my tickets away for tonight's game because I have a big deadline.

So not really but kind of?

I already explained to you, i said nothing about how they will evaluate the market other then they might get cold feet seeing how the fans try to bankrupt you. My argument is not falling apart because you are not arguing what I said. At all.

I dont see how you think they aren't related. The ignorance is incredible. You are suggesting they might get cold feet over an issue but then refuse to look at why its an issue.

Twitter bots engage!

If you spew lies and repeatedly try to pull the wool over the fans eyes you reap what you sow. Like seriously, you think the fans would be trying to bankrupt him if he was running things smoothly and properly and not at the forefront of everything for the wrong reasons? And Bettman won't let him pull this stuff in a brand new American market.

No no what he is saying is that its a fluke that the fans are so disenchanted with how he has run the team that no buyers will want to buy the team. Therefor coming to the conclusion that these potential multi millionaire buyers have never done any analytical research in any acquisition they have ever had.

Because that makes sense.

 

[supsens]

Not if it happens with 3 players in a row and anyone who is paying attention to the situation. Life is not that black and white. Do you really think the other owners dont know Eugene Melnyk?.... He is an embarrassment to the league and is costing them all money they want him gone as much as we do.

See this is just false. Name one owner that has expressed or hinted they want him gone? Some random internet dude named hockeylove69 or whatever states this to help back up his own feelings and everyone just keeps repeating it like a fact.
Same with 'they would never move a team' ask anyone in winnipeg they will give you the same answer twice.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

A new owner right now would be the closest feeling to a Stanley Cup.

It doesn’t even feel like I’m cheering for an NHL team anymore.

Another day another load of shit coming from HFSens.

I don't beleive the other owners want him gone either. What with him operating things on a shoestring while he puppeteers his minions they can keep taking advantage of him to better their teams for next to nothing.

First of all how about you address the post I just quoted you on where your argument is falling apart and dont try and deflect to something else.

There is revenue sharing in the NHL if you are familiar with the current CBA. Melnyk has been driving the market value down for his team while lowering revenues. On top of making many embarrassing public displays of incompetency and a clear lack of self awareness that is hurting his brand which in turn hurts the branding of the NHL. I dont imagine you are in any actual business partnerships but this behavior is frowned upon.

Of course no one has come out and said anything likw that, it likely violates a litany of rules and regulations as being owners and partners. It doesnt mean we cant use facts to come to a very obvious conclusion. Melnyk is bad for business.

At times it honestly feels like a hassle/embarrassment to be associated with the Melnyk show, a low I never thought I would experience being a Sens fan, I mean I cheer for other crap teams with bleak outlooks but none as doomed as the Sens due to the owner situation, the other teams at least have chance, a Euge owned team has less than zero moving forward..

No Im saying if the market in Ott cant support a 900 million dollar hockey team it might have to move.
I hope it does not play out like that, but it's an honest question I am wondering about.
Is there enough profits that investers will spend that?

Good grief, what a waste of time this thread has been.
