I’d make mention of the Jackets, but at this point it’s not even beating a dead horse anymore. It’s beating the scraps of decaying horse matter scattered where it used to lay.

Poor, poor Jackets fans…

He’s right. Look at the Habs. They’ve been spending piles of money on mediocrity.

Melnyk brilliant Moneyball owner, but not so smart that he can manage to comply with securities laws:

On May 2011, the Ontario Securities Commission in Canada banned Eugene Melnyk from senior roles at public companies in Canada, for five years and penalized him to pay $565,000. Earlier in the same year Melnyk had settled with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), agreeing to pay a civil penalty of $150,000 US and he had previously paid $1 million U.S. to settle other claims with the SEC.

“Any idiot” can spend to the cap, says Sens owner.

And Brian Burke is a prime example.

sure spending to the cap is easy, but spending to the cap and WINNING is a little more difficult. Just ask Buffalo. Making changes to a team that spends to the cap is even more difficult, just ask Philadelphia. Year in and year out they are players in free agency, just trying to get better. How they do it I still don’t quite understand. Paul Holmgren traded away arguably the teams two best players for young players so he could sign a goalie (who struggled for the majority of the season) to a humongous big contract. Then they lost out on Leino and signed a 39 year olf who hadn’t played in the NHL for years and they still have the third most points in the east. You cant tell me that any idiot could pull that off
