Reynolds is in the midst of a recruitment drive to form a group to buy the Ontario franchise, which was put on the market by the daughters of the late Eugene Melnyk.

The 46-year-old is so keen to buy the franchise because he spent a good part of his youth in the Ottawa area.

“I grew up in Vancouver, but I also grew up in Ottawa and spent a lot of time in Vanier, which is a small town just outside of Ottawa!”

With Reynolds ‘ statements on the Fallon show, one can conclude that his goal is clear: he really does have the Sens in his sights.

By the way, some people had fun reworking the Ottawa Senators logo…
