MAJOR | New bidder enters the chat for the Sens: Another A-list Celebrity
The Ottawa Senators' sale has been an ongoing process ever since Eugene Meulnyk passed. There's been multiple reports suggesting that the offers had gone over the $1B threshold.
Now that there seems to be a clearer value of what the franchise's value is, a bidding war has started, but it's also been quite the celebrity war as well.
From the get go, it was revealed that the Vancouver-native actor, known for his impersonation of Marvel's Deadpool, Ryan Reynold was part of a consortium to put an early bid. This last week, the hip-hop legendary signer Snoop Dogg announced he wanted to acquire an NHL franchise and placed his bid on the Sens.
Now it appears another well-known artist has entered the chat since The Weeknd. An Ontario native, he's a successful singer and per the reports on him a huge hockey fan as well:
«He doesn't like to be in the media very often so this really says something that he wants to be part of a bid. He wants to get this deal done, he wants to build something that will be great in Ottawa and he'll be a good fit. He's got a lot of connections worldwide.»
Bidders have until the 15th to put in their unbinding bid, things are then expected to move quickly from there.
