Ryan Reynolds is bullish about buying the Sens!
Ryan Reynolds is one of the many individuals who ‘could’ buy Ottawa Senators. The NHL team is quite a popular one and it definitely will not be a walk in the park for the Deadpool star. News publication, Ottawa Sun believes that Reynolds is ‘bullish’ over purchasing the Senators. Reynolds is reportedly preparing to launch a bid with his own company Maximum Effort.

However, there’s one major factor that is in favor of the Hollywood star. NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is extremely eager to get Reynolds on board. Bettman believes that he should definitely be associated with the NHL in some way. The Deadpool star has already proved to the world how he can make a sports club grow in a short period of time.

The NHL Commissioner is impressed with the kind of recognition Reynolds’ soccer club has been getting. It all started with getting a few lost fans back on board and now Wrexham AFC is getting attention from outside the country as well. However, it’s still unclear whether the Hollywood star will individually bid for the club or not.
Reynolds has not revealed any details about the same. The Wrexham co-owner has kept radio silence over anything related to the NHL as a whole. However, the Deadpool star did make an appearance at an NHL game earlier this year.
Reynolds’ presence at an NHL game sparks rumors!
Last month, the fans were stunned to see Ryan Reynolds at an NHL game. The Hollywood star was seemingly having a great time watching the New York Rangers take on the Minnesota Wild. The game ended with a nail-biting 4-3 scoreline. However, many of the fans had their full focus and attention on Reynolds. The Deadpool star hadn’t come for the game alone.
He was accompanied by NHL legend, Henrik Lundqvist and co-Hollywood star, Alexander Skarsgard. At that time, the fans hoped that Reynolds must’ve been reportedly planning to team up with Lundqvist and Skarsgard for the takeover.

However, neither of the three commented on any of those rumors. Even though every rumor has died down, NHL fans still believe that Reynolds will take over the Sens in the near future. As 2022 ended, Reynolds had expressed a slight interest in taking over the Senators. In an interview, Reynolds did mention that he’d be a ‘Frothy, Rabies-Infused Fan’ if he bought the Sens. Without a doubt, the Hollywood star would be dearly welcomed if he ends up purchasing the Sens.
