Owner Eugene Melnyk told the Ottawa Sun Wednesday that he is not selling the team.
"I am not selling the team – period. My kids (had) first call on the franchise long ago," Melnyk said in an email sent to Postmedia.
For the last few weeks, rumours have swirled about a potential sale of the Senators, but Melnyk said the rumours were false.
"Let me set the record straight. I have no idea how a reporter fabricated a fiction about my selling the team," Melnyk said. "These stories pop up out of nowhere probably from someone 'hearing something.'"
"(The) only thing I can think of is our routine refinancing of our debt involves a financial 'roadshow'. Virtually every major Canadian, international and American bank have attended one of over 20 presentations in Toronto, Ottawa and New York.
"This involves accountants, bankers and lawyers. I am not directly involved in this process except for the occasional visit and greetings. Hence, where the sale story must have come from," Melnyk said.
While the Senators (10-13-7) have fallen on hard times lately with only two wins in their last 10 games, they did pick up a win over the New York Rangers Wednesday night.
They will be back in action at home against the Montreal Canadiens Saturday night.
