The Senators must find a way to connect with their fans.

Perhaps this could be done by moving to LeBreton Flats, a project that has been discussed for several years now… But the Sens will have to move fast if this is their main objective, because they have to convince the NCC (National Capital Commission) before September 20 if they want to move to this precise location.

September 20… that’s 15 days away:

It’s been tough for a long time in Ottawa on the ice, and if it continues over the next few years, fans are going to give up.

And yet, the club has had the elements to fight for a playoff spot for the past few seasons… But the problem seems to be even more hollow than that. Management has made some questionable choices in recent years (especially when Pierre Dorion was in charge), and there’s work to be done to repair those wounds.

That said, the Senators organization feels that the idea of lowering ticket prices could create a buzz in Ottawa.

I say that… because tickets will be available at $40 for 59% of this season’s home games.

Still, it’s impressive:

The Senators need help.

They need to sell tickets to ensure the franchise’s survival, and if the organization is at the point of selling $40 tickets for more than half the home games… It means things are going badly.

Has fan interest simply waned after the more difficult seasons on the ice?

Or is it the amphitheatre’s inadequate location that’s bothering them?

It’s hard to say, but I really feel it’s a mix of all these factors…


Overtime

– Yes.

– The logical choice is Dahlin.
