From the Athletic and an article on the best and worst run front offices in the NHL;
In a stunning upset, the Senators finish outside last place in something. Bravo.
That has more to do with the Wild’s meltdown being on the tip of everyone’s tongue than it is with Ottawa’s current status which is still extremely bleak, somehow even bleaker than it was last season. Trading away your three best players, all pending free agents, will do that and likely why the team ranked dead last or second last in trading, free agency and roster building.
There’s a lot of building ahead of them and not much faith in the vision to execute it. On the fan base side, there is some hope in the team’s ability to draft and develop, but even that glimmer ranks in the league’s bottom five. It speaks more to the optimism every fan base has in its pipeline than anything the Senators are actually doing.
Much of this does not actually land on the front office, but on ownership. The words “Melnyk Out” were a popular sentiment on a plethora of survey comments and it’s astounding that an owner can be so unanimously blamed for a franchise’s misfortunes. With him remaining at the helm, it feels like the team has “unparalleled” failure in store for their future.
I think our own Pan from SCU broke this first on Twitter, someone called it a PanBomb I believe. That's for an NBA guy named Adrian Wojnarowski who breaks every NBA worth breaking and they call it Woj Bombs.
