Who Will Buy the Ottawa Senators? Odds for Next Majority Owner Among Snoop Dogg & More
Who will buy the Ottawa Senators heading into the 2023-24 NHL season? Bettors and hockey fans can get in on the exciting ownership race as we break down the odds.
The Ottawa Senators, a team that hasn't made the Stanley Cup Playoffs since 2017 and hasn't sniffed 90 points in a single season since that same 2016-17 campaign, are suddenly the Belle of the ball.
Even with Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds reportedly dropping out of the running as his bid with The Remington Group to by the Senators will not proceed, American rapper Snoop Dogg and Canadian singer/songwriter The Weeknd lead a still-star-studded contingent look to by the team. And the winning bid is expected to top $1 billion.
Let's look at the betting odds for who will buy the Ottawa Senators as the next majority ownership group.

Who will buy the Ottawa Senators?
The interesting pick: Snoop Dogg/Neko Sparks
Snoop Dogg was a little later than Reynolds to throw his hat in the ring. But the L.A.-based rapper and entrepreneur has long been a hockey fan (usually of the Anaheim Ducks). He's now turning his business pursuits north of the border, aiming to promote hockey for kids who "look like me." He would be just the second Black majority owner in North American sports after Michael Jordan.
Snoop has expanded his rap career to acting, being chairman of Priority Records, and several cannabis-focused businesses, along with restaurants and NFTs.
Our best bet to own the Ottawa Senators: Michael Andlauer
Though he doesn't possess the name appeal of our other high-profile picks to own the Sens, businessman Michael Andlauer seems to be picking up steam, and the betting odds are much more alluring than the name.
Andlauer is the owner of the Ontario Hockey League's Hamilton Bulldogs, and he's a minority owner of the Montreal Canadiens. That in-road with the NHL and its board of governors could give the Toronto-based healthcare CEO the edge in what's being billed as a popularity contest between Snoop, The Weeknd, and previously Reynolds.
With nearly triple the odds of the public figures, bettors are wise to at least sprinkle on the "boring" option.
