With $925 Million Target in Mind and Dwayne Johnson as Rival, Ryan Reynolds’ Thirst to Build Ottawa Senators Like Wrexham Receives Plaudits From NHL Commissioner

When Ryan Reynolds took over Wrexham, he had one dream. To take them up to the English Premier League in the future and bring success to one of the oldest soccer clubs in England. Similarly, NHL is looking at investors for the ice hockey team Ottawa Senators for a potential suitor to create their own legacy. Therefore, the NHL commissioner Gary Bettman looked at the capability of Reynolds investing in the franchise. 

Moreover, WWE superstar and actor Dwayne Johnson also entered the bidding war to catch hold of the valuable franchise. Earlier, there were reports of investors bidding up to $925 million to take over the team. The bidding war intensifies as Deadpool and the Rock would probably enter a financial muscle showdown. The NHL commissioner appreciated the interest shown towards the franchise and spoke about Reynolds’ determination.

Although he did not reveal names, six bidders are currently going after the franchise. When asked about Ryan, he quickly pointed out his hunger to complete the deal, as time is money. According to Sportsnet, he commented, “Ryan believed it was important to connect with a bidder that he believed would be a good match for him. I respect his view of the process. He wants to take it from beginning to end.”

The latest Mint Mobile deal took his net worth up to $350 million, and Reynolds wants to invest in yet another sports team. But he faces intense competition from Dwayne Johnson. In a recent episode of Coming In Hot With Wallace, York, and Bryan podcast, they revealed Johnson’s involvement in the bidding war. With a handsome net worth of $800 million, Dwayne is an ardent investor in the world of sports.

The value of the Senators is $800 million, and Reynolds’ passion for sports speaks volumes about his continuing interest in the franchise. Fans can be forgiven for hoping for a brighter future, as evidenced by the Hollywood star’s positive impact on Wrexham.

A similar success story to Wrexham?

The first thing Reynolds looks set to do is not to relocate the franchise to another city. Obviously, the fans would love that. Not only does he want to own a franchise, but he also wants to build the team for the future. There is no other example as good as Wrexham. They set one of the oldest English soccer clubs in the world for promotion to the EFL League Two. Hence, with the Senators not performing well, Reynolds’ passion to be the best can work out well. 

The bidding war continues between the investors and the franchise. Whoever gets their hands on the Senators would commit to the franchise with their soul. Who better than Ryan Reynolds to take them up? Do you think he can take the Senators to the top?
