Is this true? I read that Ryan Reynolds and Andlauer did meet up atleast once before Reynolds picked the Remington group.

I heard that too and heard Andlauer has no interest in shared ownership with RR.

Hard to see a massive sale price with lebreton seemingly out of the picture due to the land claim and ncc, can't imagine any reasonable business person engaging with that nonsense. Sucks the media hyped Reynolds for so long and I loved the doc he made but at the end of the day, frankly my only wish is an owner that craves a Stanley Cup for their team, Andlauer with Malhotra support is what I'm anticipating...not as sexy as Reynolds but feel the local ties benefit the Sens in the end.

I think this is Bettmans biggest mistake and why I think he’s an idiot

The NHL treated RR like a promotional tool and not a media mogul - RR brought more attention to the Sens and NHL to non traditional makers than probably even Connor Mcdavid. Stupid

And apparently RR is pissed at Bettman for poor treatment and probably using his name to promote the sale of the Sens and drive up the price - so Bettman gets what he wants and the Ottawa Senators fans get burned - and this is why Gary Bettman is an idiot

Not sure why Mendes teased us yesterday saying he had "very interesting text exchanges", but nothing notable was said in his article.
He was very jet lagged and it turns out the interesting texts was a series of to-do items from his wife.

It could have been a very cheap teaser or whoever was texting with him asked for it not to be published as whatever was said would have been easily linked back to them or perhaps the texts were just angry comments that they didn't want to get out.

Wasn't it Kishner's comments on how to expect the post-binding-bid-deadline process to unfold?

could be, but that doesn't seem to rise to the level of what, at least I, assumed was going to be some background dirt from some 'interesting texts". Does that article even say "this dude texted me how the process will unfold"?

No, it says he was interviewed. By now, we can assume it's either in the story, so it's Kishner. or Mendes decided not to publish. Or it seemed interesting after drinking a mimosa at 50,000 feet.

Lebreton isn't out of the picture, it's just going to take years and years for it to come to fruition. There's also Bayview Yards which Remington and Bettman apparently brought up.

Bayview is particularly interesting as an option as LRT access could be built directly into the building, which isn't currently an option given the Lebreton sites location in between Bayview and Pimisi stations. While there are some other use cases for that site that would provide for some interesting opportunities for the city, I'd gladly take it as an alternate site

now, if they can run the LRT through my garage...
