Another year in Ottawa would be suicide and my feeling is everyone there is ready to bail out. Ottawa has proven it is not the right city.

It's been money well spent. We're giving people their money's worth. Players want to play for exciting teams so we want free agents who want to sign here. That will make it so our fans see an entertaining team that wins more.

We'll have to turn it around fan-by-fan.

Somebody is going to have to go in there and lose a bit of money for a year or two for it to work. It's the only way it's going to be turned around.

That's the goal and it's what the league wants. The league's willing to kick in to help get things going.
