This is the wrong take. I live in Ottawa -- the team has great support from the community that has endured in spite of bad ownership decisions that predate Melnyk. Perhaps the worst being the bad bad not good gamble of plunking an arena down in a farm field in Kanata. The fans are desperate for an ownership group that cares about this place and its people, that can work with its municipal government to get a new rink built, and that in the meantime will invest in even a very basic organizational infrastructure from which to build. They have had none of this for a decade or more.
