Ryan Reynolds could potentially buy the Ottawa Sentors if they structured the purchase around the ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ blueprint. A ownership model paired with a sports docuseries about the NHL's very own hockey team, the Ottawa Senators.

Ryan Reynolds net worth in 2022 is 150 Million, but he would need a partner in purchasing the team. As the according to Forbes the Ottawa Senators are worth $525 US.

►Excerpt from The Athletic:

'He has more than just movie star money — and is willing to spend it

The reason Reynolds was even involved in the purchase of Wrexham?

Well, buying a soccer team is expensive and McElhenney said he needed more than just his own “TV money.” He needed “superhero, movie star, alcohol baron, mobile phone services, cyber security, and whatever else Reynolds is involved in” money.

Being a movie star doesn’t get you controlling ownership in an NHL team. Neither would Reynolds’ other stakes. But he seems quite involved with building a diversified business portfolio. He launched a film production company, Maximum Effort, in 2018, the same year he bought Aviation Gin, which sold for $610 million in 2020 (though Reynolds retains stake in the company); he purchased an ownership stake in Mint Mobile in 2019, and invested in 1Password and Wealthsimple.

This isn’t just Deadpool trying to buy a hockey team.

Again, NHL ownership is quite different from the fifth tier of English professional football. Reynolds and McElhenney own 100 percent of Wrexham Football Club. That certainly will not be the slice of the pie Reynolds would have in the Ottawa Senators, which was recently valued by Sportico at $655 million U.S., and could sell for much more than that in a competitive auction.

Still, a significant takeaway from the series is that when it came time to spend on Wrexham FC, Reynolds did. He and McElhenney spent hundreds of thousands of dollars refurbishing the pitch and went over budget on their player expenditures after bringing in big-ticket players to help the team.

It certainly wouldn’t hurt to have someone involved in the Senators ownership group who has shown the openness to spend money he might not get back.'
