They traded Zaitsev and 2 draft picks for Chicago for nothing in return.

Wonder if they're trying to get Chychrun or maybe even bring Karlsson back?

It's probably more about freeing up space they were wasting on a player they didn't really want in the lineup more than any other moves. Can't be spending that much on a guy who they sent to the AHL for a bit and has frequently been a healthy scratch.

NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly estimated last month the sale price will be more than $800 million and could eclipse $1 billion.

First bid closing is today.

Melnyk bought the Senators out of bankruptcy for $92 mil in 2003. Not a bad RoV.

I guess Gary Bettman will remain on Anna and Olivia Melnyk's Christmas card list ...
