In the world of sports ownership, fortunes rise and fall, and opportunities often knock when you least expect them. With a charismatic charm that’s as sharp as his wit, Wrexham owner Ryan Reynolds has taken Hollywood by storm. But, rather than his on-screen presence, it’s his ventures beyond the silver screen that have ignited intrigue from the fans.

As a sports enthusiast and a savvy businessman, the Deadpool star, who owns the Welsh soccer club Wrexham AFC, is being called out by fans to bring his magic touch to the NHL this time. Could the man who brought life to Wrexham in Wales, also become the savior of the Buffalo-based NHL franchise?

Could Buffalo be the next stop on Reynolds’ sporting odyssey after Wrexham?

While Ryan Reynolds may be best known for his acting and on-screen wit, his passion for sports transcends the box office. Hailing from Vancouver, Canada, Reynolds grew up as an ice hockey fan. His deep-rooted love for hockey recently prompted him to pursue ownership of the NHL team Ottawa Senators, submitting a staggering $1 billion bid, which ultimately fell short.

Now, as reported by WYRK, Reynolds’ success with Wrexham AFC has led to calls for him to invest in another sports franchise, The Buffalo Sabres. The NHL outfit has been struggling in recent years and needs new ownership. The Sabres, owned by Terry Pegula, recently dissolved the team’s parent company PSE (Pegula Sports and Entertainment). With the franchise undergoing restructuring, it has raised questions about its future.

While Pegula has firmly asserted that the Buffalo Sabres are not up for sale, the winds of change may be blowing. If the day comes when the Sabres are made available, $350,000,000 worth Ryan Reynolds could be the ideal candidate for a franchise in need of a fresh start.
