What is it they say � If you want something done right, do it yourself?

Apparently, Eugene Melnyk has decided to take that approach in running his Ottawa Senators.

Rather than hiring a replacement for recently departed president and chief executive officer Tom Anselmi, the Senators owner will leave his cozy nest in Barbados, set up an office in the nation�s capital and assume the CEO duties of his own team, a well-placed source inside the organization says.

dale tallon needed to erase the mark of the computer boys so badly that he replaced reilly smith with the clinically deceased vrbata

now hes got to try to trade him on a partial NTC in a year when he has scored 5 goals. 0 of those 10 teams will be interested. 0 of 30 would be interested without the NTC

5.35m per for Backlund.

A glance at his age (29) and point totals (100 in the last two years, but never broke 40 before that) is a bit questionable, but his possession stats are great, and he seems to produce fairly consistently at even strength. Stats don't tell the whole story, but I seem to recall commentators calling him a very complete player with a good defensive game last year.

yeah they aren't signing him for goals. His whole line goes up against the top lines whenever they can.

There will be some decent, if not slightly mediocre, teams who just miss.

A look at the schedule for March makes me feel slightly better, as there's quite a bit of crap they play that month. Still, got to actually win the games.

E- Montreal, Detroit, Florida, the Rangers, Edmonton, Vancouver, Ottawa are games they should be able to win.

Captain Carey Price: Your mission is to proceed up the St. Lawrence River in a press boat. Pick up Mr. Bergevin's path at Rue Peel, follow it, and learn what you can along the way. When you find the GM, infiltrate his team by whatever means available and terminate the GM's command.
PK Subban: Terminate Bergevin?
Ken Dryden: He's out there operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct. And he is still in the field making trades.
