    If Eugene won PowerBall and MegaMillions he would not spend it on the Senators..... his first inclination would be to go back into the Thoroughbred business as he had way more fun and success than owning a professional hockey team!

    Ha, Melnyk is a cheap fk! Doesn't matter how much money he has, he will refuse to spend to the cap.

    I will assume you are a Senators fan and if so I feel so bad for you...... As a Sabres fan I know what it is like to have a bad man as an owner.... John Rigas and his demon seed!!!!

    It's funny how fans from every fanbase know that Melnyk is a horrible owner and everyone feels bad for sens fans. Even Bettman knows. Yet he's still somehow the owner. Mind boggling.
