Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk doesn’t plan on selling the team.
“I am NOT selling the team — period,” said Melnyk in the email. “My kids (had) first call on the franchise long ago.”
Kyle Turris said yesterday that he thinks management wanted to re-sign him, but ownership didn’t.
TSN’s Ian Mendes tweeted GM Pierre Dorion’s comment about Turris’ comments: “Everything in the hockey department goes through me — not Mr. Melnyk.” Kyle Turris’ wife responded to the tweet with “lol.”
Melnyk says that he pays Dorion “big bucks” to manage the hockey operations.
