OTTAWA - Eugene Melnyk is already predicting a return to the playoffs for the Ottawa Senators this season. Nike Vapormax Cz . The NHL teams owner said he sees no reason why this years lineup wouldnt have the capability to be one of the more competitive teams in the Eastern Conference. "I think you can pretty well predict what were going to have on the ice," Melnyk said Tuesday. "If everybody just plays to their potential I think its a great team and is going to be very competitive and will be a playoff team, but they just need to play to the level that we know that they can play." The Senators missed the playoffs last season and finished 11th in the Eastern Conference, but Melnyk is confident the Senators will finish in the top eight this year. "I think we have the potential to be in the playoffs and be competitive throughout the whole year," he said. "Once the playoffs start anything can happen. Thats the first step, lets get into the playoffs and let it run from there." There will be some significant changes to the Senators this year after the trade of Jason Spezza and the addition of David Legwand, Alex Chiasson and prospects Nicholas Paul and Alexander Guptill. Curtis Lazar, 19, will also be pushing to make the roster. "I think were going to be very, very competitive," said Melnyk. "Last year was not the kind of year we want to have this coming season. Everyone knows their roles and Im just hoping we stay away from injuries and were all set to go." Melnyk feels the Senators have a better schedule this season, adding he senses a renewed energy from players who are eager to put last season behind them. Ottawa dealt Spezza to the Dallas Stars last month. He was drafted by the Senators with the second overall pick in 2001 and had spent his career in the nations capital. The team has yet to name a new captain. Melnyk said he understood and accepted Spezzas request to be traded. "I spoke to him as far back as five years ago and he was already starting to talk about potentially moving and this time around he was looking for a change and I totally understand what he wanted to do," he said. Melnyk was in town to announce that the Senators and the Senators Foundation have surpassed the $100-million mark in community contributions and initiatives. "Were at the top, weve won the Stanley Cup in that area," he said of the teams charitable efforts. "I know what everybody else does, we talk about it, and they come here to see what weve done to get a sense of it. Theyre just in awe of the organization and how well we are organized. Its a machine." Melnyk capped off the afternoon with another charitable contribution as he and Senators defenceman Erik Karlsson took part in the Ice Bucket Challenge to raise awareness for ALS.

And actually has anything planned, whether it be dinner, a movie, a walk in the park, just something that was actually planned and something with thought that actually goes into it. Instead of like, "Oh, what do you wanna do?"… I cant stand that.DB: Makes sense, thats not too much to ask.

Personally, Id be afraid of seeing polar bears up-close, what was that experience like?GB: Well, it wasnt that scary, you know, we were protected because we either saw them from a helicopter or we saw them from our buggy, which was kind of like a souped up school bus. And they would come up to the buggy and be like feet away from you. I got a selfie with one, I dunno if you saw it. But they still look super cute and cuddly, so until they probably actually bite you, they have this charm on you, so its probably hard to see that coming.DB: Can you go BarDown?GB: Of course! I can do anything thats good. ???? #polarbearselfie pic.twitter.com/CWR9U6jc1m — Eugenie Bouchard (@geniebouchard) November 11, 2014Genie Bouchard is Coca-Colas newest athlete partner, signing a three-year sponsorship agreement in June 2014.
