dissapointed Reynolds aligned with a group. Thought he would just chill and let the groups come to him. Maybe some groups don’t want him

Being a movie star is super easy. Anyone can do it.
His role is being a movie star for this team. Do some candid interviews, and hopefully NOT get cancelled during his tenure.
That being said, I am sure his contract with the team ownership would be they can release him by his or their own accord under certain situations…
I suspect that he will have an ownership stake in the team as well, he’s not a hire.

I bet he was a hot ticket item and got concessions in exchange for signing on. The NHL hasn't been shy about saying they want his involvement. If I were one of the groups looking to make a serious push, adding Reynolds to the fold would be a top priority.

Highly doubt adding RR would be a top priority. This is a huge multi-faceted business deal; I don't see a celebrity being all that important to these billionaires. I would imagine it actually complicating things as both parties would have their own interests in mind, and it's not easy developing these kinds of partnerships.

“If we can figure out a way to have him included, I think that would be great for the Senators and great for the league.”
Bettman is dying for Reynolds to become apart of the NHL, it's a top priority from Bettman

We were just owned by a Toronto-based maniac.
So this would probably be a step up.
Bettman wants Reynolds, and Bettman decides who gets to buy the team.
Reynolds is absolutely a top priority for billionaires wanting to buy the team. If they can’t have him, they need to find something else that competes.
Bettman wants that production value more than just another owner with deep pockets. Reynolds’ history with Wrexham is exactly what Bettman would like to see happen with the Sens, and the league in general.
Raise the profile, raise the fan engagement, make new fans, raise league wide revenues. That’s the perceived added power of Reynolds.
I see no difference between Toronto based vs LA or NY based in terms of it being a negative. This way the owners are Canadian which is great. They can’t move the team to Toronto, so this is as close to being a home team that they can get.

Definitely. It just hit me, I hadn't thought about the sale that way.
I guess I assumed someone based in Ottawa or just anywhere but Toronto would buy the team? A silly assumption.

Why not lol ridiculous take. He is literally doing it right now with Wrexam.
I have some concerns about this buying group. Net worth is only 1.39 billion. Thats simply not enough to buy and build a rink. Will need some partners with deep pockets. Maybe thats where Reynolds comes in and he brings in more backing. The rest sounds great though, they are a development company thats what you want building not only an arena but an entertainment district.

Will be interesting to see what happens. I'm guessing RR won't be involved when it all plays out, just a gut feeling. Would obviously prefer the best possible ownership and RR involvement if possible. Not sure what this Remington group can bring compared to others.

Although I have some of the same concerns, the obvious one being the net worth of the buyer, the only info I could find on that was the same $1.36B figure, but this was from 2015. So, I don't think we know for sure what the net worth is. Also, the article states that it's the Remington Group putting forward the offer, and not one individual from the Bratty family, which could potentially mean that the pockets would be much deeper than if it were just Rudy Bratty (and family)

For almost 20 years, we belonged to a guy who split his time between Toronto and Barbados, and who did Toronto media hits when he wanted to talk about his Ottawa based team. That ship sailed a while ago. Unless Roger Greenberg was willing to spend the family fortune on owning the Sens, we were always going to end up with a group from outside the city...

I’d bet Remington gives Reynolds’s a % to be aligned, in addition to whatever Reynolds’s puts in - great move by both of them if that’s the case.
If you totalled up every fan, every follower etc. for every team, player, broadcaster affiliated with the NHL and combined them together it would be less than Reynolds by himself.
Here is the family patriarch who owns Remington.
From a few other things it also sounds like they a relatively low key bunch given their wealth.

I mean given this development, why would I want any other group to win?
They are rich enough.
They have a vision for LeBreton and the arena.
They don’t seem boorish, obnoxious, or stupid.
They have Reynolds.
That checks all my boxes

Sens classic underdog story too, perfect for Reynolds storyline. Small market underdog team ready to grow, new stadium, making the playoffs and chasing a Stanley Cup as the fans come back. It’s all about growth, achievement and coming together to bring glory to the community

Im sure if his group doesn’t win he will join another group .
He aligned himself with this group because they will let him be the face of the ownership while the real guys lurk in the background
I wonder if Reynolds likes this partnership because they are letting him control the team. I wouldn’t be surprised if the big fish in this deal is the extended development opportunities with the arena and surrounding land that they would have access to.
The team buys them some pretty exclusive land opportunities with the surrounding packages too does it not?
Besides, it makes sense to leave the entertainment side of the partnership to the entertainment professional, while the developers take on the massive development side of the deal.

Bettman has to be salivating at the prospects of one of the leagues small market teams potentially turning into an international celebrity. Think of the revenues generated beyond the simple sale of the team, especially by a once traditional have no team that was a draw on revenue sharing.
And then think that we have a perfect young cast of character kids that the whole tv watching world could fall in love with. We also have enough sob stories, rich hockey and nhl history, and tragic losses (dramatic) to build a high quality story around. It’s a pretty perfect story telling match.
It’s a no brainer really.

Bratty is worth 1.39, but the article states the group has several partners, so if those partners collectively are worth another ~700 that's pretty good.
Andlaur was previously mentioned as the frontrunner, I'm not sure how accurate it is but Google suggests he's worth 1.2 b, so same ballpark, no? He partnering with Rocco Tullio apparently, no clue what he's worth but it's enough to have allegedly made an offer before Melnyk passed away.
