Ryan Reynolds Has Shown His Interest in Purchasing the NHL franchise Ottawa Senators
The 46-year-old actor, Ryan Reynolds as per PEOPLE is very interested in acquiring the NHL’s Ottawa Senators as the reports about the team on sale have surfaced. A source close to the actor told the outlet that the MCU star plans to keep the team in the Ottawa region in case he purchases it.
He also dropped a hint on social media when a Twitter user wrote “Ottawa Senators are for sale… Come be our owner.” The actor reacted with a thinking emoticon showing his interest in that tweet on Tuesday.
The team was previously owned by Eugene Melnyk since 2003 however after his death on March 28 this year, the team was passed on to his two daughters, Anna and Olivia. The team is being overseen by the board of directors on their behalf.
