Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds could be at risk of missing out on NHL side Ottawa Senators, as interest in the team has peaked.
Reynolds has got a taste for life as a sporting owner, and following the success of his takeover at National League side Wrexham AFC, he's been interested in getting involved a little closer to home. It was announced last month that Reynolds had teamed up with The Remington Group to buy the Senators, with the Melnyk family looking to sell the franchise.
However, according to Postmedia and a report in the Ottawa Sun, Reynolds and The Remington Group face fierce competition from rival bidders, with as many as four already lodging proposals. The franchise is said to be valued at $800million, but with the prospect of mass real-estate up for grabs, some groups are willing to pay over $900m, and it could even reach the $1billion mark.
