Dolan appeared very uncomfortable when he was referring to the Canadian TSB report. His fidgeting and his tone were very defensive. Look at the way he looks away and pauses when he tries to recall when he first saw the draft. It's strange he doesn't know exactly when he saw such an important thing.
My guess is he has a pretty good idea what will be in the final report. He must surely. Perhaps he is not that comfortable with it.
So December eh. Wonder if the end of the year is a good time to change career.
This isn't over yet. Perhaps the Senators are sick of bashing away and trying to reason people out of an untenable position they didn't ever reason themselves into. Perhaps they have a hint the Canadian report will add significant leverage and are simply biding their time.
If the decision has been to get an independent report, then you do have to wait for the report. And it is pretty easy to sit back and wait if you are confident. And pretty hard if you feel it isn't going to go your way.
