It starts at ownership. Melnyk has made it clear he doesn't want to spend money on this team "right now" and is currently penny pinching at every opportunity, trying to pay off his debts. Once he gets that sweet expansion draft money, he'll "maybe" start thinking about spending. Until then, Ottawa can enjoy maybe 2-3 years of mediocrity and continue to be the NHL's farm team.
The list of everything that's been cut to the bone:
-Management
-Scouting
-Coaching
-Players
The only reason that Ottawa is over the cap is because Dorion won't put Gaborik or MacArthur on LTIR because, without them, Ottawa wouldn't be able to reach the cap floor.
