NHL sources say Vancouver-born actor Ryan Reynolds has been aggressive in his pursuit of the Senators since attending a game in Ottawa 10 days ago. It’s believed he has been speaking with representatives of interested parties to see which might be the right one to join as a partner. From there, completing the paperwork could take four to six months, but everybody involved here is hoping a deal will be finalized by June. That would be a best-case scenario as the clock is ticking with the NCC wanting to have a lease agreement done by September.
Though GSP will handle the bids, that doesn’t mean the team will necessarily sell to the group offering the highest amount of money.
