He now seems to be interested in acquiring the Ottawa Senators and has generated a lot of media attention as a popular celebrity and a new sports club owner.
Acquiring the Ottawa Senators would not only be a significant achievement for Ryan Reynolds but also for the league as a whole. As a former star of Marvel and DC, he has the potential to attract more fans to the game. Reynolds, along with his Remington Group of buyers, has offered a staggering $1 billion for the team.
$1 billion would make NHL History for the most expensive price paid for an NHL team.
Bill Haslam recently acquired the Nashville Predators for $880 million and now holds a 60% stake in the club. Reynolds could bring the same winning culture to the Senators that he brought to Wrexham. As the team is currently undergoing a rebuilding phase, it remains to be seen if Reynolds will keep it as is or make drastic changes to suit his style. It's an exciting prospect to consider. If Reynolds does win the bid, perhaps the Senators will have a "Deadpool Night."
