OTTAWA - On one hand, the National Capital Commission can choose an NHL arena for LeBreton Flats.
On the other hand, they can choose ... an arena.
The super-secretive process — with the exception of the odd leak to the media done with some purpose here or there — will finally end Tuesday when the two bidders left for the valuable land just west of downtown unveil their flashy plans during public consultations at the Canadian War Museum.
While there was never any secret Senators’ owner Eugene Melnyk would have a new home for his team as part of his extensive bid for the land as part of Rendesvouz LeBreton, people were caught off guard when it emerged the DCDLS group — formerly known as Devcore — had also included a rink in its bid.
