Canadian-born Hollywood star Ryan Reynolds — one of the more prominent suitors reported to be interested in purchasing of the Ottawa Senators — is in the capital.
On Thursday morning, Reynolds posted an Instagram story captioned "Ottawa friends" and accompanied by a Canadian flag. The photo showed him with his arm around the shoulders of Ottawa Mayor Mark Sutcliffe, standing in front of the City of Ottawa crest.
Chris Bratty, president of The Remington Group — the Toronto real estate company with whom Reynolds is reportedly teaming up to bid for the Senators — is also pictured with Reynolds and Sutcliffe.
City officials confirmed to CBC that Reynolds met with the mayor at about 9:30 a.m. ET. Reynolds' visit comes not long after NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman visited the city on Monday.
