Senators owner Eugene Melnyk fired back at billionaire Jim Balsillie on Thursday, according to an Associated Press report. Melnyk released a statement that reads like an open letter to Balsillie. He addressed claims by the Research In Motion co-CEO that Melnyk lacks personal integrity and expressed dismay over Balsillie?s attempt to buy the Coyotes. ?I clearly believe the sport of hockey is better off without him,? Melnyk said.
