When will this end? Is there another franchise with this much drama around it in recent memory?

would have serious reservations about the flames giving up solid value for a guy with those values, depending on how much he knew about the situation and if he's still with her.

After reading he is now denying any wrong doing by him and his girlfriend, kiss that trade value goodbye.

sorry my friend, I dont think this will end anytime soon, until July 1st when EK either officially resigns or rejects that offer so it puts the wheels in motion to end this circus

I mean, what else would we expect him to say, If he really had no idea?

Obv we need to wait for the facts, but I don't see how they'd file a protective order if they weren't pretty damn sure, the question is how much he himself knew.

You'd have to think He was made aware.

If I was EK I would have comfronted him in private with team president and GM present to discuss and end it.

Like you said, need to wait for teh facts.

Just cant get much worse right now for Ottawa.

Sorry guys!

Best course of action for the NHL at this point. Fold OTT. Make all their players UFAs. Bring in Seattle and Quebec next season.

So, those off ice issues were a lot worse than what we were all expecting

Combine Arizona and Ottawa, make them play 82 games on the road and call them the NHL Oopers.

We will take the Hoffman in Buffalo

We now know two Sens fans who should delete their accounts.

Wasnt there some comments from Turris wife on their exit too? Hammonds wife took shots at the Sens org. I dunno sounds like something fishy is going on behind the scenes in Sens land

The Washington Generals had a pretty terrible record, but off the court the team was pretty tight.

Seems obvious what should happen here:

1. Tell Melynk to sell the team to the right people or sit down & STFU
2. Trade Hoffman to Edmonton or highest bidder with a good player (try to get as much of Ryan's $ off the books)
3. Resign Karlsson 8 years @84m on July 1
4. Resign Duchene 8 years @60m as well
5. Resign Stone 8 years @61m
6. Bring Alfie back in hockey ops
7. Investigate and make decision on Randy Lee.

Per TSN:
Karlsson's wife alleges Hoffman's fiancee conducted campaign of harassment
The wife of Ottawa Senators captain Erik Karlsson has filed an order of protection against the fiancée of one of Karlsson's teammates, alleging harassment and cyberbullying.

In an application for a peace bond filed May 4 in an Ottawa court, Melinda Karlsson alleges that Monika Caryk posted hundreds of derogatory online messages aimed at her and her husband. Caryk is the longtime partner of Senators forward .

"Monika Caryk has uttered numerous statements wishing my unborn child dead," Karlsson said in the sworn statement. The Karlsson's first child, a son named Axel, was stillborn in March.

Karlsson also claimed that Caryk "uttered that she wished I was dead and that someone should 'take out' my husband's legs to 'end his career.'

"Monika Caryk has posted over 1,000 negative and derogatory statements about me as a professional."
