Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk says the Ottawa Senators have lost $110 million since he took over the team 10 years ago.

In August, senior team officials told the Citizen that the franchise has generated a grand total of just $6 million on operations (total revenues minus the costs associated with paying and moving the players, advertising and managing the arena).
