The Weeknd?! Forget Snoop and Reynolds. That’s the guy you want.
I want them all. If Remington & Ryan do not want to sacrifice a piece of their proposed equity to make this happen I would be disappointed. The star power of all 3 could build an international brand.

At worst I hope they end up with 2 of the 3 in the winning bid. As the Weeknd & Ryan Reynolds are Canadian, it would likely be some what of a childhood dream come true to own an NHL team. As the sens are in their Nation's capital, even if they did not have blood ties to Ottawa, they do have ties to it as Canadian citizen. So those 2 feel almost necessary. But, Snoop could do big things for diversity in the game as well and in a moderately untapped market in the US. So really the goal for the NHL should be for all 3 added to be in the winning bid, but adding at least 2 of them feels kind of necessary

Carrie Underwood and Mike Fisher let's go.
That would make "Welcome to Ottawa" next level. Mike and Carrie would not only add to the the show's quantity of good looking humans featured, but Mike as former player could add an interesting player perspective to the owner commentary

They could easily get additional financial support from the NRA and run a marketing campaign to "Make Ottawa Great Again".

The most famous of all the potential celebrity investors.

The Weeknd has 54 million+ followers on Insta.

The Ottawa Senators have 358k.
Weekend and Reynolds are pretty close,

Weekend has 54.3 mil on Instagram and 17.3 on twitter.

Reynolds has 49 mil on insta and 21.4 on twitter

Demographics are likely different too, though I'm not sure which is preferable.

How much would a draft lottery win to get 2OA boost the Sens’ sale price?
Probably not at all, in the scheme of things, 2oa doesn't really add a lot of value imo,

Might be different if you were adding McDavid or Crosby level prospect,

Oh man....it would be so amazing to get second overall. And it won't be an Eichel letdown, either. Fantilli will be welcomed with open arms and put onto a team that is young and fun and supported from day 1.

Toronto Maple Leafs putting in a bid so they can have a real hockey team come playoff time. Want to get it done by Tuesday night so can have the players available and in uniform for game 4 in Florida. Complicated but the money is there, Leafs are desperate

Is there a Boucher type player available in the later part of the first round?

Give me Andlauer. Just a good , ol' fashioned deep pocket owner. No distractions. No circus (good or bad)
I said a long time ago I want Andlauer to partner with Rimmington and Reynolds.
