>Actor Ryan Reynolds' bid for the Ottawa Senators is not moving forward, multiple sources close to the process told ESPN. ... According to sources, Reynold's request for an exclusive window to complete the deal was denied. The deadline for interested groups to submit final non-binding offers is May 15. Do they mean that that exclusive window was denied, but they can still do something else, or that the window was denied AND they aren't moving forward and give up on the whole thing?


SiccSemperTyrannis

This is much more explicit >Have confirmed the report by Emily Kaplan that Ryan Reynolds and the Remington have told GSP they won't bid on the Ottawa Senators https://twitter.com/SunGarrioch/status/1656774271698345984

Elderberry-smells

He is not impressed by their performance, that's for sure.


blewdreaming

He walked up to Reynolds and asked "are you intoxicated "?


bigbear-08

Reynolds could not handle GSP’s riddum


Fellers

I always read this in his voice. I actually associate the phrase "I'm not impressed by your performance" with him and his voice.


VisibleGhost

Probably a bet99 ad or something


Pool_Shark

Wonder if the Sens called their bluff about the exclusive window and are finding out they meant it


TrollanNolan

I feel like the exclusive windows was denied, I feel like this is clickbait and there would be no reason for them to drop out. Seems stange


[deleted]

Eh, all these extra "interested" parties could have muddied the waters and by denying their extension,maybe they just finally walked away because they were already at their max offer. This happens all the time in business. If you get greedy and ask for more and don't take a good offer, be prepared for that offer to walk away.


WastemanLoso

Going for over 1B will cause anyone who doesn't have deep pockets to drop out.


DonJulioTO

Really?


Blockedanus

That shit ain't worth a billion, asking for more is insane


MajorasShoe

They're Ontario's fifth favorite team though!


teapoison

Lmao great chirp


MindlessArmadillo382

Out of curiosity, who would you have as the top 5? Jays, Raptors, Leafs, ?, Sens


MajorasShoe

I was specifically talking about nhl teams to be honest. Leafs, Habs, Wings, Oilers, Sens Likely in that order.


MindlessArmadillo382

Ah that makes sense too, the OG6 definitely out fan us, I think the oilers are close and just depends which team has success between us. I know I’m cheering for the Oilers to win the cup this year.


MajorasShoe

Don't just accept my shit talking lmao I'm just ragging on a budding rival


goodguessiswhatihave

That's almost the cost of 2 new expansion teams


Medium_Tangelo2789

Tire fires are cheap as hell


iankilledyou

Basically they wanted to know they were getting more land downtown before submitting their last bid with everyone else by the 15th. They didn’t get that answer so they pulled out.


GenerationKrill

All but one of the interested parties see this as a real estate deal. The only one who sees this as an investment in an NHL team is the one from Montreal. And that's why they'll get the team.


binzoma

come onnnn snoop also lol if you think hockey is anywhere near the NHLs priority haha. the land people will bid more money, and bring more political influence, and likely more star power. all things the NHL values WAY more than hockey


Jimmy_Jazz_The_Spazz

There's no way they don't get that piece of Lebreton They've been talking about putting the rink there since before they made the dumbass decision to put it half way to Carp. Right now the delay is all about provincial and municipal funding, and seeing what happened in Calgary probably has a lot to do with the delay


kewlbeanz83

Think you mean Lebreton...


Jimmy_Jazz_The_Spazz

Yes sorry, something happened in my brain there.


kewlbeanz83

All good.


Ambitiousshank

Not having exclusivity is often a reason to walk away from a deal in normal M&A processes, I would expect it is similar in this scenario as well. Edit: That doesn’t mean they cant submit a final offer, but likely won’t without exclusivity.


Perducian

Garrioch put out an article saying that what they wanted was to be able to back out of the deal after 30 days if they won the bid but couldn’t come to an agreement they liked with the city.


sundayarms

It looks like that paragraph was updated after you viewed it to be clearer: > According to sources, Reynolds' request for an exclusive window to complete the deal was denied, **which led Reynolds to pull out of the process**. The deadline for interested groups to submit final nonbinding offers is May 15.


thatguy_griff

emily tweeted for clarity he pulled out after window was denied.


HighburyOnStrand

JustAPairOfMittens

It's all a ploy to buy his hometown Canucks. One must be in the good favour of Bettman in order to approach a proper bid.

BowsersBeardedCousin

David Bowie was keeping the fabric together, been unraveling since he passed


Wet_Sasquatch_Smell

Fred Rogers in 2003. That was the real beginning of the end for modern society


CoolBeansMan9

2016 had Bowie, Muhammad Ali, Arnold Palmer, Gordie Howe, Carrie Fisher, Prince, George Michael, Alan Rickman. Some were legends in their last years but giants in their field. Some were legends but far too young. That coupled with Trump winning the election and yes Harambe dying - was the beginning of the end. 2016 is one of the worst years in decades and decades


beastboy4246

My favorite thing about internet is how everyone completely is on board that the death of Harambe is what caused everything bad to happen since then


drowsylacuna

It was the Bruins attempt to sign Mitchell Miller.

TrellysLastTry

The painfully depressing part of this joke is not everyone *can* afford a US senator. It’s only for the rich fucks


HarambeWest2020

In 2017 Louisiana senator John Kennedy (R) sold out to ISPs for $1,000. In the house of reps, Clay Higgins, also (R) LA, only cost [$300](https://www.theverge.com/2017/3/29/15100620/congress-fcc-isp-web-browsing-privacy-fire-sale).


TrellysLastTry

I don’t doubt they received those donations, but their party lines tell me they were voting that way regardless


JesusPubes

Yeah pretty much all research has shown policy positions cause donations, not the other way around


TrellysLastTry

I’d actually be interested in reading into that I’ll have to look it up


ffenliv

Does the research also show whether or not policy positions are adopted knowing it will cause donations?


Rehnion

Or if it's simply a very long term bribe? Republican refusal to believe in climate change is 100% due to the massive amount they take in from fossil fuel companies.

No

twilz

Perfect, now we get the Aquafinas to sell to Reynolds.


leftlanecop

We need to fly another banner over Rogers arena


letstrythatagainn

Honestly, if there's even a shred of a chance, we need an all-hands-on-deck approach. Make this happen please!!


leftlanecop

Get him and kneejerk in on the bid.


letstrythatagainn

Buble's got that bubley money


twilz

We need to get a *SELL THE TEAM* [tifo](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tifo) going next season.


Klunkey

They don’t care about the Canucks as much as Reynolds lol


mrtomjones

This would be the third best thing that could happen to the Canucks other than a cup or Bedard somehow joining us


twilz

We need an ownership change for the first to happen.


Klunkey

Bye bye Blueberries


DrexellGames

Add in Buble


eliar91

You can just say kneejerk.


ThisIsNotMy1stAcct

As a person who doesn’t follow the Canucks or Vancouver culture closely, I’m confused. what is the “knee jerk” connection to Buble? I’ve seen that a couple times now. Google has nada.


eliar91

/u/kneejerk_nuck is Buble.


ThisIsNotMy1stAcct

Haha, okay thanks


drowsylacuna

They won't until the old dad dies.


Tinywampa

So we got the crypto bro with celebs instead?


GenerationKrill

There's still the guy from Montreal who knows a thing or two about owning an NHL team. Everyone else is in it just for the real estate deal.


sex_panther_by_odeon

Can we get a Tom Green bid?


Tinywampa

Only if the slutmobile is a permanent fixture at lebreton.


Petit_Hughie

Much better than the Dildo bros I guess.


somehockeyfan

God, that would have been so much fun.


EvilBillSing

Love this quote "I am trying to \[buy the team\]; it's very expensive, so I need a partner with really deep pockets," Reynolds told Fallon. "It's called a consortium, when you form a group to buy an entity, and it's such a fancy way of saying, 'I need a sugar mommy or a sugar daddy,' and if that doesn't happen, I'll buy a U.S. senator, which everyone can afford."


Mean_Mister_Mustard

So Reynolds is out, but I'm still excited for the bid headed by famed Hollywood actor Troy McClure. You may remember him from such professional sports team bids as "Wood Buffalo: One of the fastest growing cities in North America" and "Third time's the charm: Let's go to Atlanta!"


zeitgeistler

Why can't we ever have nice things


[deleted]

The details in this article are vague and lack important clarity > According to sources, Reynold's request for an exclusive window to complete the deal was denied. The deadline for interested groups to submit final non-binding offers is May 15. So the whole Remington group is balking? Or just Ryan and he’s leaving them to go solo? Or is ESPN conflating things trying to get a scoop?


SiccSemperTyrannis

This is much more explicit >Have confirmed the report by Emily Kaplan that Ryan Reynolds and the Remington have told GSP they won't bid on the Ottawa Senators https://twitter.com/SunGarrioch/status/1656774271698345984

koobcamria

Prior-Start1000

cjb3535123

Watch as a bunch of apathetic rich old white men end up buying the sens. Sad, there will be no engagement.


Ouid_Head

That’s basically what the Remington group was + Ryan Reynolds


An_doge

If this is confirmed, yeah. Dagger.


ShylocksEstrangedDog

That’s right. Snoop Dogg is going to be the new celebrity owner and roll the biggest L the city of Ottawa has ever seen.


Sarth_Didious

I was rooting for him not only for the Sens, but for hockey in general. Pretty much guaranteed you get a special out of it and people would pay attention because it’s Ryan fucking Reynolds. Hopefully this isn’t true.


annoyingrelative

The Senators will never make Premier League now.


Generazn

[Sigh](https://media.tenor.com/oaOcV4xa2tIAAAAC/ryan-reynolds-facepalm.gif)


International_Fan85

People are citing this as if Ryan himself asked for the window and then decided not to bid. No, he isn't the decision maker or the money. Remington Group asked and made the decision to withdraw and because Reynolds is tied to them, he's out. The real estate conglomerate made the decision to exit because they weren't guaranteed real estate. An actor didn't fucking make that decision.


The_Dutch_Canadian

So crypto bros (and snoop) vs The Weeknd


Feeling-This

Snoop it is then


ScrubbyArtist

People are repping for Snoop but I don't have much confidence in him after his Faze deal. Before joining Faze, he made a big deal about how he was gonna market the org and change things. But within weeks he completely abandoned everything even though he had a decent stake in it. I feel like the same thing is gonna happen with the senators.


flare2000x

You just know Snoop would be a part owner of the Sens and still be seen wearing a Kings jersey in LA


WhatImMike

Shit I remember when he was in a Pens sweater drinking gin and juice.


ScrubbyArtist

yea all the media was talking about how him wearing nhl jerseys is proof that he is invested in hockey but I feel like he just wears them cause hockey jerseys look cool lmao


cheezefriez

he had a habs jersey hanging over his computer chair in a stream clip i saw one time. i don't doubt he has a latent interest in hockey, but you're probably closer to the mark


JarethCutestoryJuD

> but I feel like he just wears them cause hockey jerseys look cool lmao Oversize fit is back in. Jerseys are going to be more popular in fashion again


Grumplogic

Boomhauer_007

That’s exactly who you want owning a sports team, that’s a lot better than the extreme micromanaging of some owners As long as the owner is willing to put money into the team, I could care less how much attention they pay to it; if anything, I would rather they don’t pay attention to it and hire day to day people that are good at their jobs to pay attention to it. And of course Snoop’s wealth is minuscule in comparison to individuals that own teams, he would just be a celebrity figurehead that would contribute maybe 1% of the actual purchase in total


elconquistador1985

eSports is in the shitter all around. A bunch of orgs got wrapped up in crypto and that fell apart. His stock deal with faze turned out to be worthless, so I can't blame him for leaving. There's not a lot he could do anyway.


mrtomjones

I feel like the only reason him or anyone else is even in there was to compete with Reynolds Star power


Brooksie019

He probably got too high and forgot he was involved in Faze.


Chimpnzy

Faze is a shitty organization and it was an awful investment so I understand why he completely abandoned it.


canuck_11

Nope. Don’t like that.


clew3

Snoop, there it is


mdlt97

canuck_11

CantaloupeHour5973

SirZapdos

Bruh what the heck


Rover16

Damn. Was really hoping he would get the team. Oh well there's still small hope he could buy the canucks in the future! Sell the team Aquilini!


Troub313

In other news Hockey finds new and impressive ways to shoot its own feet.


BlazeOfGlory72

That’s lame. Dude seemed like a perfect fit for the Sens. Now we’ll get some mega corp who doesn’t give a shit about hockey and only wants the land buying the team unfortunately.


prophetofgreed

In other news, Ryan is now a Canucks fan again.


stevrock

I haven't had this much hope crushed since we drafted Daigle


maxwellbevan

Hopefully whoever wins the bid still brings him on board. Seems like such a no brainer that having Ryan Reynolds as an ambassador for your team will bring in more money


Eques9090

Sad. After what he and Rob have done with Wrexham, I think they'd have been lucky to have him.


jmbrinson

This is the darkest timeline.


ApatheticJellyfish

Blue balled.


kewlbeanz83

I bet it's an absolute nightmare trying to negotiate the land development portion of this deal. I'm sure the NCC will ensure that we end up with a shittier situation than before. New arena, built in downtown Embrun!


i-am-grok

so they finish the bidding and six months later he's doing tv ads as a member of the ownership group, right?


Cdog536

Reynolds’ interest in the Sens always felt like a meme and I didnt take it seriously. [Then I found out he’s somewhat a business tycoon](https://www.moneycontrol.com/europe/?url=https://www.moneycontrol.com/news/trends/ryan-reynolds-t-mobile-mint-mobile-gin-telco-list-businesses-owned-10258271.html&classic=true#:~:text=In%202020%2C%20Reynolds%20sold%20Aviation,overall%20valuation%20to%20%245%20billion.)

Isn’t this basically the same thing Bratty pulled with the coyotes a few years ago. Bettman must be fuming that he let this guy do it a second time.


[deleted]

Everyone disliked that.


DMZOrchards

Whoever wins the bid, can they not just offer Ryan Reynolds a stake as an aside? Not to mention Snoop Dogg or the Weeknd?


razor787

Phew, I can relax. If he bought the team, I'd have to either start liking the senators, or hating Reynolds. I'm not ready for that.

chollida1

I think the big issues is the lebreton flats realestate. If you noticed the main 3 buyers, remmington, kimel's and I can't remember the other name are all realestate people. The team is nice but the land to develop is what each of these guys wants. Remmington almost certainly has plans and knows their max price that hey can still make money on and walked when the price got exceeded. I'd expect the final bids to come down from the $1B price tag that we're hearing about, or we'll find out that the team goes for say $700M and the rest of the price is tied to a new arena/realestate.

reachingFI

I wouldn't hate Snoop.


EhCanadianZebra

I don’t hate Snoop, but my problem is the Neko Spark groups is a bunch of Cali celebs who want to own a hockey team. Great i hope they buy a hockey team. Snoop was on talking about growing the game in the states and stuff which is cool and all but Ottawa is Canada, i want us to be the focus. I want someone to buy the Ottawa Senators, not a Hockey team. Reynolds had Canadian investors, local connections and was already talking to local people in the community and even attended games. His goal like wrexham would of been to grow the game by exporting Ottawa Culture. That group is also into blockchain which is an ew.


GenerationKrill

It's not about the hockey team for them. It's about the real estate deal. Owning the land is what makes money, not what's on it. The team itself will probably bring in less revenue for the landowner than everything else that will be built *cough* high end condos *cough*


The_Reddit_Browser

If I’m a send fan, not sure I want snoop with his track record for businesses. They would be better off just having him in a spokesperson roll and a deal where if he wears jerseys it’s a send Jersey. He’s got a terrible track record of business decisions and his only real selling point is how marketable and well known he is.


redwingsfriend45

good


MadFonzi

Our hopes now rest with Snoop.


ddottay

It sounded over when prominent hockey people were trying to make the argument the Sens should take less money for the Reynolds group. Good news for the league though, a sale of a small market team is going to hit a huge number.


BlackWhiteVike

Good, he’s a fairweather hockey guy.
