A lot has happened since Michael Andlauer bought the Ottawa Senators earlier this season, none of which has been good. <h2>Andlauer gets a threat from the Commish on who is showing who is the boss of the NHL</h2> <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/339647.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> In the short time since owning the team, Andlauer has lost a player to a suspension for betting, a draft pick because of a lack of discretion, and firing the GM Pierre Dorion. Not to mention the lack of performance on the ice by the Senators so far this season.
