Sens are a club team based in a Canadian city, 1 team in a professional hockey league.  By my count, their roster had 12 Canadians last night, around there.

Canada's team lost in a SO for the gold medal in the WHC last week in Europe.  Every member of that team was, by my count, Canadian.

Canada's team is the 1 that represents Canada in tournaments and other such events.

Ott is not Canada's team.  Ott is a Canadian-based team in an international league that exists to make $.  Ott is also fine with NHL not allowing its players to represent their country, and that would include Canada, in the next winter olympics.

Ott cares about making money.  The city has already lost 1 NHL franchise, and is on its way to perhaps losing its 2nd.
