After months of speculation and reports, the Ottawa Senators were finally sold to Michael Andlauer recently, but it's safe to say that his first few months in charge have been an absolute nightmare.
In that time, Andlauer has had to fire a General Manager, lose a player to a gambling related suspension, see his team underperform to expectations and be stripped of a first round pick for the former regime's failure.
Early in his tenure, he made an interesting comment, asking why he inherited this mess. and it appears as though his comments on the situation have drawn the attention of NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman.
During a recent media appearance, Bettman was asked about the situation, and sent a clear, pointed threat towards the new Senators owner.
This sounds like someone quietly threatening an owner to put up with what happened and shut up and deal with it, and given the NHL's handling of several issues over the years, it appears the new Senators boss has absolutely nothing else but that to do.
