They should do what Green Bay did with the Packers, and let the citizens of Ottawa themselves buy the franchise.

How much money would everyone on r/sports need to put down so we could all become co-owners (hypothetically speaking)?
EDIT: I want 10 shares for around $400

It would be, not sure how that would work though. The team is valued at $650 million and his net worth is $150 million. He could be the head of a group of investors, but doesn't have the cash to buy the team on his own unless I'm missing something.

He doesn't have that kind of cash. And although all this speculation came from a single emoji response to a twitter post it wouldn't surprise me if he'd be interested in a small share of ownership given his time in Ottawa.
mywerkaccount t1_iv3777l wrote
It's funny just yesterday I read that the team wouldnt even be ready to announce a sale for at least another month. Then all the Ryan Reynolds shit started and I'm just wondering if they are trying to cash in on all the publicity to pull in investors to purchase, not just Ryan but using that as a catalyst to drum up interest.

I can throw down a chunk. Does owning property in Ontario count for eligibility in this boondoggle? Does being a current pens fan disqualify me?
