Amid Tight Race Between Wrexham Owner Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson, NHL’s Ottawa Senators Bid Crosses $1 Billion Mark: Reports

Ryan Reynolds’ arrival at Wrexham has been more than a blessing for the club. The Welsh side is currently enjoying colossal success under the ownership of the Hollywood star. The team recently achieved significant success after he led his side to promotion. Seeing such success, the actor is keen to repeat the feat with another sports franchise.

The 46-year-old is eager to buy the NHL side, the Ottawa Senators. The team is currently for sale and has received humongous bids so far. Reynolds has also bid for the team, but he faces tough competition from the other bidders. Reports were suggesting that the highest bid was $925 million, but it seems it has crossed the billion mark.

Ottawa Senators bid set to cross the $1 billion mark

The Senators’ price was set at around $800 million. However, that mark has crossed its limits, as recent reports suggest that the successful bid will cross the $1 billion mark. Dozens of teams were interested in buying the team, but the battle now remains between six groups. Among the contenders is the Remington Group, which includes the Canadian actor as well.

Aside from this, former WWE star Dwayne Johnson also joined the race. All the interested parties have been given a deadline of May 15, in order to strengthen their proposals. The battle to win the bid has intensified, and it seems the bid may set a record. In fact, this might be the highest bid ever in the history of the NHL.

The current top sale price of an NHL franchise has been $900 million, which the Fenway Sports Group paid for the Pittsburgh Penguins in 2021. Aside from this, former Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam’s $880 million purchase of the Nashville Predators is expected to get approval by the league’s owners next month.
