Things are getting to the point where the franchise is in trouble. The team is carrying $235M in debt, attendance took a nosedive last year, and they're about to trade a future HOFer. They're also going to ice the same team that finished 2nd last this year, only without Karlsson and Hoffman. Probable bottom-3 finish this year, and they don't even own their 1st. There's going to be nobody in the seats, and as long as Melnyk is owner there's no end in sight.
