I think it was Pittsburgh fans who woke up one day to the sudden news that their team was sold.

Lucky f***ers

Hell no, hockey is entertainment and we get our money worth and then some, all crazy crap going on is like a soap opera for sports fans, M night Shamalan style twists and turns, twin peaks like dream sequences, car wreaks that rival David Cronenberg's Crash, we get it all.

And the potential is there for a solid new owner.

hopefully whomever the new owner(s) is, their focus is proportionally divided on the performance of the team, and the relocation to a downtown location for an Arena. If their focus is too much on the real estate aspect of the new Arena, there is the potential for the team to not get the attention from ownership it deserves ….. and this is why the right person is chosen for POHO is critical.

Better have palate for hot dogs because that’s what we expect from our Sens POHO

When Melnyk first came in he came in hot.

The leather jacket, the Eagles concert, the vague threats against Toronto.

What a guy.

Then the wheels came off.

if memory serves me right his big pharma company got delisted for breaking CSA\OSC rules and ultimately went under.

Then ultimately his OHL team, horse racing and the senators became his income source. Then he sold the former two and just held onto the Sens.

We got really unlucky with him.

Generally when you’re half crazy people think you’re cool at first and about 3 weeks later realize you’re just bat-shit

This. I don't think those people complaining realize just how bad this could actually be if we didn't have like 3 other very legit billionaires fighting for control of the team.

Also I don't think that any of the posters on here have ever paid $1,000,000,000. dollars for anything.

Any one of the other 3 would be very acceptable. I am not sure the Sparks bid would fly even if it stood alone.

Then we definitely should be counting our lucky stars, as if there was no other interest, and I understand league rules correctly, then it opens up the Sparks bid to moving the team elsewhere. This is only possible when there are no other suitable suitors who would want to keep the team in Ottawa and the potential owner expresses a desire to pack up and leave.

There was other interest. Seven bidders prior to the binding bid deadline. And Remington, if uncontested, likely would have had the time to negotiate with the NCC.

A pre-requisite to the bids was that the team needed to stay in Ottawa

I know, purely hypothetical!

It's hypothetical of course. Its an interesting question though: what would have happened if no one stepped up to buy the team except someone who wanted to move it? I get the impression there was a short window for the sisters retaining full ownership of the team.

Anyways, not to get side tracked... Has the team sold already or what?

This is one of the most idiotic hypotheticals I've seen on here.

If only one group bids because the franchise can't be relocated then that group can relocate the franchise? Is that really your take?

Bruh... This thread is full of idiotic hypotheticals. Anyways, I clarified my point later. Thanks for your insightful feedback, I'll really take it to heart.

Point out those idiotic hypotheticals then because I don't see them. There was no need for you to "clarify" it because the problem is not understanding what you posted but rather why you posted it. Have you really not figured out the error in your logic yet?

I'm pretty sure that would exceed the character limit of a post. Who has the time? 175 pages of posts hypothetically speculating about this entire process is a lot to wade through.

I enjoy a life where I don't need to justify anything I do to you, and I'm happy to keep that going. If you don't like my posts, feel free to block me. Later!
