Confirmed with Link: Senators are for sale - and it’s a Gong Show

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

Where is that? East of Hawksbury?

Just south of Rockcliff Park..... it's the place to be for the city elite.

Just to clarify, I am not criticizing anyone here, just expressing my opinion

And I am all for Ryan Reynolds and the rich new owners taking over the team and making us the best NHL franchise ever!

 

[JimmySpaetzle]

I’d imagine whatever group wins will try to bring Reynolds in regardless. Imagine a Netflix series on the Ottawa Senators just like they did for his soccer team in England?

I know what you're saying, I just don't like the idea of "we're so lucky" attitude after he passed away. If he sold the team, then yes, by all means, but to me the bottom line is he died and I don't really see that as a positive thing. It's not like he was Charles Manson or Bin Laden. We can still talk about the facts, and one of them is that he also saved the team by buying it back in time. And, no, I was not his fan at all in the past 10 years, trust me. I don't know, maybe I am getting soft as I get older :-D



I know bert, it's just we are talking about someone's father here, who relatively recently has passed away. I had family members who were acting stupid and I still never said "it's a relief" when they died.

Just because he is someones father doesnt erase history or the people that he wronged. I wont willfully ignore it sorry. We can agree to dissagree.

Excited about the potential of new ownership.

It’s like a 2000 year old term referencing horses and the bit they put in their mouths when they are harnessed for a race.

Yeah. They chomp on the bit

Matthew Perry as well (most commonly known as Chandler from Friends). Ryan Gosling also spent years in Cornwall (close enough haha).

Yeah Matt party even through on some Sens merch on screen

Agree and agree to disagree

Have a good one, hopefully we win tonight and start a bit of a winning streak for the next 10 games.

Now do "one fell swoop"

 

[bashbros32]

his soccer team in England?

Being a bit of an ass here, but... Wales*

I was looking at homes there a few years back. Great neighbourhood

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

After the last 5-10 years, this all just feels too good to be true. I really hope Reynolds ends up being involved.

Wilderrrr!!!!

 

[bicboi64]

Reynolds is repping Vanier, the man truly loves the city. I used to hate having to go to work there (social services)

 

[Sun God Nika]

As much as i love Ryan Reynold if one of the other group has one of those Saudi multi billionaires who just want a sports team as a toy that they would put infinite cash into, i would much appreciate them to own the team LOL

Elite you say? Now I know where Zaitsev lives.

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

I'm excited at just the idea of Ryan Reynolds being part of an ownership group. But I'm still conditioned to not expect nice things, even after the summer of Pierre! I need to work on that.

Well it’s pretty well known that Reynolds and he said it himself would not be a majority owner as he doesn’t have the funds for it. So Reynold is actually attaching himself to one of those “multi billionaires” that your talking about.

 

[IpsoPostFacto]

I don’t even think I want him as the owner, he seems to make very rash decisions lol Melnyk-lite

read an article about a year ago about his management style. He as super user access to their email server. He will go in and remove meetings off people's calendars because it makes for good problem solving or some such crap.

 

[IpsoPostFacto]

“Champing at the bit”

"chewing at the bite"

Being a bit of an ass here, but... Wales*

no, it's important. Say "from England" to someone from Wales and you'll be eating a fist.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

 

[Do Make Say Think]

What a wild time to be a sens fan.

I still can’t believe the Melnyk cloud is lifted doesn’t feel real

Well we still suck on the ice.

Less than we used to sure. But we still do.

 

[umma gumma]

For months I kept coming across posts stating 'no one would be interested in this team. Who would want come to come to Ottawa to lose money?'

LOL

 

[guyzeur]

Yeah. They chomp on the bit


Yeah Matt party even through on some Sens merch on screen

Ryan Reynolds net worth 150M
Matt Perry 120M
Dan Aykroyd 250M
Sandra Oh 25M
Alanis 60M

Tobias Lütke – 11.86 billion
Terry Matthews – 1.69 billion not trillion
Bill Malhotra – 1.45 billion
and the Greenberg family - 1.57 billion

edit typo

 

[Pancakes Pancakes]

Not surprising, this is a huge real estate deal when you include Lebreton and the current site of the arena. Potentially huge bucks to be made.

Pretty sure the Terry Matthews number is a typo -- should be 1.69 billion.

Also believe the Shopify guy has taken quite a bit of a haircut down from the 11.86 billion number.

LOL

The main culprit of those posts seems to have disappeared.

 

[Micklebot]

Remember the good old days when we were told the team was absolutely not for sale and who would be interested in them if they were since they lose money and would be on the hook for tot just 600 mil for the team but another 600 to build a new arena?
