Melnyk during scrum: will consider pursuing legal action against city if it chooses RCR as only option for casino. #ottcity

City lawyer says he's concerned legal action against them would be for "ulterior motives" and would bring that up with commissioner.

I support him on the idea of having the Casino near the CTC, but the way hes handling it and trying to bully his way into getting what he wants, almost Jim Balsillie like isn't a great way for him to get that Casino.

Fair enough!
Grabo is probably on his honeymoon right now no?

And apparently Kessel is training at the Mastercard Memorial Center today, shocking news!

His agent isn't on honeymoon. Really all he had to do was give his agent a list of "desirable" teams he'd like to sign for and a range of money and let him do the work. Agent just has to text him when he has a firm offer.

Typical NHL owner operating procedure. Katz held the city of Edmonton hostage over a new arena as well.

A guy like Melnyk didn't get to where he is/was by being nice and charitable, he has leverage with the Sens and he will subtly use the team as a bargaining chip.

Besides the city council is crooked, so it's good that someone calls them out on their BS.

Oh
Maybe his comments, combined with his production last year has really hurt him then. Probably not getting offers that he feels are good enough? Anyway, whoever signs him is gonna get a steal.

He probably wants to sign in the same division as the Leafs to try and maximize the screw-back potential.

Morrow and Bergevin had talks and plan on talking again, not really sure what Bergevins plan is there, looks like he still has a trade or two to make.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I can't believe that, in the span of a week, this amazingly dumb quote:

Nathan Horton said:
"To be in the city, it’s a great opportunity for me and my family to be able to be in a house, to be a little more quiet, that’s what I was looking for."

has been topped by:

Tyler Seguin said:
"I think for starters, obviously there’s a lot of young guys. On my last team, I was the only single guy. So. I’m excited to meet some new faces."
