The theories make sense. Most likely Steve A. is running away with the price and viability to pay but he’s not the NHL’s preferred guy.

Also, there could be disagreements between the Melnyks, his stooges, the bank, and the NHL. There are way too many parties to satisfy in this process.

I suspect that there are "issues" with the various bids that are being discussed with the bidders to clarify their bid price, financing, payment dates, backers, etc. It is not a simple assessment process where there is one clear winning bid. There may also be a disagreement between the Melnyks and the NHL as to the preferred bidder due to their different objectives. Negotiations are likely going on to resolve their differences. It is not surprising to me that this is taking more time than many expected.

Sens traditionally have always had a hard time getting anyone to sign on the doted line.

Looks like Melnyck passed along his business skills to his daughters

Kyper is really well spoken here.

Basically telling Sens fans to calm down, if it’s his group or someone elses the sens are going to have a really strong owner.

He’s absolutely right. I hope they are scrutinizing these potential buyers like crazy which has to take time

Meh, it’s the only thing he can say. He’s not going to scrutinize the league or bank while trying to get an NHL team.

Exactly why he's there as an advisor. Dude knows how the league works and who to push and who to send the flowers to. Old boys network is still a minefield.

What are you talking about…all 4 bids are willing to sign on the line. They are literally fighting over it. These are binding bids

Yes I guess so. Integrity and cooperation come before money for me.

They could have easily just sold to Ryan Reynolds for 1 $billion and it’s be done by now but in classic Melnyck fashion they’ll do it the most chaotic and disfunctional way possible and end up with probably worse result, as their Dad did in business

It's mostly up to BOG no?
Ryans gang wanted to secure land deals first it's got nothing to do with "them"

If I had to guess, it had nothing to do with the BoG.

My guess is GSP advised that the risk was too great since if they gave the exclusive window to negotiate a land deal and those negotiations failed, it could tank the value.

another cheap shot at the former owner, and his daughters. That’s your thing, what are you going to do when the sale is completed?


anyways, the daughters are NOT handling this sale, they hired GSP to handle the sale.

defending rich entitled men is your thing and I gotta admit you do it well. Keep it up, they may throw you a timbit and call it charity

But to answer you r question 'what will I do when the sale is final' - I will be thankful the Melnycks don't control the team and hope the new owner's ego doesn't need the negative attention of the hockey world

Do you have something against rich men? Is there something wrong with being rich, or a man?




is it possible that you’re a Misandrist?

​

By the way I don’t defend anyone, simply, in your case, am just pointing out your hate motivated post (earlier) that you spun about the sale of the Senators taking so long, and by your hate fired warped logic, dumping the blame on the Melnyk sisters…. who contracted out the sale to GSP.
