Ryan Reynolds

Ryan Reynolds is back in the nation's capital Thursday, meeting with Ottawa mayor Mark Sutcliffe amid reported interest in purchasing the Senators.

"Ryan believed it was important to connect with a bidder that he believed would be a good match for him," Bettman said. "Let's say that this is among the most vibrant processes I've ever seen," Bettman said during a press conference ahead of the Senators' game against the Florida Panthers. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman previously confirmed that there were "somewhere around six" serious bidders for the Senators.

The actor posted a picture to Instagram of a Thursday meeting with Mayor Mark Sutcliffe and Remington Group president Christopher Bratty.

“If I were buying the team I’d want to speak to as many people as possible in leadership roles in the city.” National Hockey League commissioner Gary Bettman, who was in Ottawa on Monday, confirmed six groups had moved on to the second phase of bidding. Reynolds is bullish on the idea of being part of the Remington Group and plans to play a key role. It was a great discussion about the potential for this franchise,” Sutcliffe said. In their presentation to Reynolds, it’s believed the Remington Group sold him on a vision they have to turn the franchise into a winner. Representatives of the Remington Group had arrived Wednesday and spent the day at the rink meeting with club officials.

On sait, toutefois, que M. On ne sait pas exactement ce dont les deux hommes ont parlé, durant leur rencontre. On le voit, souriant, en compagnie de Mark Sutcliffe.

“He’s very smart,” Bettman said of Reynolds at the time. The Hollywood megastar made a “strong impression” on the league commissioner, Johnston wrote. “He has a number of businesses besides the acting business and he understands sports and he understands promotion. The actor confirmed later that month on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” that the report was true.

[ fans began to speculate about him buying the team after he sold Mint Mobile in a deal said to be worth an approximated $1.35 billion.](https://etcanada.com/news/977155/hockey-fans-believe-ryan-reynolds-1-3-billion-mint-mobile-sale-frees-him-up-to-buy-the-ottawa-senators/) READ MORE: [CTV News Ottawa](https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/ryan-reynolds-in-ottawa-as-senators-sale-heats-up-1.6335730), Reynolds has joined forces with the Toronto-based real estate developers in a bid to own the NHL team.

Sutcliffe was less impressed by Reynolds' star presence and more impressed by his genuine interest to invest in and grow the city.

They may even ask for a percentage of the naming rights of the arena to be directed toward them. According to Johnston, the Algonquins of Ontario have aligned themselves with the Roustan bid and are potentially using this as a piece of leverage in their favour. Simpson says that in addition to a financial component, the Algonquins of Ontario may be looking for additional things to be added to the arena once the final details are in place for LeBreton Flats. They just want to be compensated for the loss of the land.” He says “a couple” of them have taken him up on the offer, while “a couple more” may pay a visit in the days ahead. “If we bought the team, because we have an outstanding claim, we’re not going to block any development. And as a result, Sutcliffe says he views Reynolds more through the prism of a businessman than a big-screen presence. “The idea that someone like Ryan wants to invest in our city and grow our community is really exciting. I have probably seen more of him in action as an entrepreneur,” says Sutcliffe. “There is the star power there when you’re talking to Ryan Reynolds. But once the meeting is underway, you’re just talking to a businessperson and entrepreneur,” explains Sutcliffe. [Ottawa Senators](https://theathletic.com/nhl/team/senators/) fans only have a keen interest in how the latter two meetings played out for Sutcliffe.
