EXCLUSIVE: Deputy commissioner Bill Daly says "there's been a fair level of interest" in Ottawa Senators

Several groups are interested in buying the Ottawa Senators. The team will stay in Ottawa. Andre Desmarais of Montreal-based Power Corp. has shown interest in the Senators and will make a pitch. The indications are the team could sell for $800 million-$1 billion. Rivett, the owner of Nordstar Capital LP, purchased the Toronto Star in August 2020. He has been in a public feud with the newspaper recently. It's possible the sale will be quick. However, it's too early to establish a timeline. the Pittsburgh Penguins recently sold for $900 million and the Nashville Predators are on the verge of $775 million sale.

Ryan Reynolds has expressed interest in the Ottawa Senators. Deputy commissioner Bill Daly says there's been a fair level of interest. Daly has never met Reynolds but he's a fan of him.
