Now because its Kypreos I would take it with a pinch of salt but man Buffalo has not handled this situation well at all. Have a feeling Bettman will step in soon

Why would Bettman step in? If he ever stepped in to solve things, Ottawa would have had a new owner years ago. The only time he’ll step in is to keep the Coyotes in Arizona.

Ben Bishop is hoping to return to action at some point of the season - Dallas Stars

Quinn Hughes contract situation is about the term, not the money - TSN

The issue with Tkachuk and Ottawa is the structure and trade protection. Tkachuk wants bonuses - Elliott Friedman

So what i get from this is Dallas, why'd you sign Holtby? and Melnyk is still a penny-pinching loser

Key word. I don’t think Nill would’ve gotten Holtby if Bishop was returning, but then again he’s stupid so it could be a possibility.

I would say wait for Amirov but after looking at his photos his first team photo will probs be boring. That said he does have a radiant smile.

Melnyk makes bad hockey decisions, but that’s not a valid reason to force him to sell.

Yep

Apparently its a very complicated process which was done on purpose as the league does not want to just throw out owners.

The only quick way is for the owner to commit a crime or not have the financial means to afford to pay the bills so to speak.

But despite his flaws the league wont remove him as hes not up there with Jeremy Jacobs, Bill Wirtz, and Harold Ballard. Sure hes cheap but there are other owners in the league you can give that title to.

This is really bad news if it’s not a medical reason tbh. Was he invited to camp?
