Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk spoke to Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun about the present and future state of his hockey team.
Said Melnyk: “We have turned the corner. We just now need to execute on what we have. This is the team, with what we have right now, I believe can win a Stanley Cup already, and that’s without adding some veterans, which we plan to do.”
“We’ll be a team that’s active at the trade deadline and not as sellers, but as buyers, just like we used to be.”
After missing out on the playoffs in each of the past three seasons, the Senators have loaded up on prospects, making three first round picks in the 2020 draft, including three of the top five picks.
