After the Karlsson visit, Ottawa Senators fans were once again reminded of how much damage Melnyk has done to this team and now the city. With all the negativity surrounding the LeBreton flats project, it was very understandable that fans would get excited at the possibility of a quick revival of the project. Around 9 PM last night, construction company DevCore announced via Globe Newswire that they are ready to start construction on LeBreton flats immediately if things were to fall apart with the RendezVous Group. While this is excellent news for the city, Sens fans were excited over this quote in particular:
With respect to hockey, the National Winter Sport of Canada, we will still include a portion of land adjacent to the LRT station reserved for the exclusive construction of an NHL arena.
