NHL Thread Because There Isn't An NHL Thread

The Ottawa Senators are heading to the open market.

Galatioto Sports Partners, a New York-based investment bank, has been retained by current ownership to sell the franchise, according to Postmedia's Bruce Garrioch.

The Senators are currently owned by Anna and Olivia Melnyk, who inherited the franchise as part of an estate left to them by their father, Eugene, who died in March.

The team is expected to stay in Ottawa despite the potential sale, Garrioch added.

Sportico, which first reported the potential sale, unveiled its valuations of each NHL franchise Tuesday. The Senators ranked 27th with a $655-million valuation, but sources told Garrioch that figure would be much higher if the team were to be sold.

The organization signed a memorandum of understanding with the National Capital Commission and other investors in June for a new downtown arena at LeBreton Flats. While there are still many steps between an official agreement for a new rink, such a deal would undoubtedly raise the value of the franchise.

Ottawa currently plays at Canadian Tire Centre, which opened in 1996 and is located in rural Kanata - over a 20-minute drive away from the city's downtown.
 
The ESPN feed is about 5 seconds behind the actual time. I checked the Pens app and it showed the score was 2-2 while I’m watching the game at 2-1…..🤡
 
What a fookin comeback! Holy shit the Lightning looked rough throughout most of the game. At one point it was 3 to 2 Ottawa with the Lightning having 29 shots to 13. Thankfully we pulled it off with 2 goals in 3 minutes late in the 3rd!
