I agree actually, and moreover, their father owned it for so long that one would think they've actually got a vested interest in running it. But to each their own.

I'm not sure how the NHL would feel about all of that. It would obviously be great publicity for the league, but they seem pretty buttoned down to me - not sure if that would fly with some of the big serious people/egos involved.
2 Major things though. 'Actor Money' is largely not 'Pro Sports Team Owner' money. Even with the Gin Joint.

He can afford half a non-league Welsh soccer team, especially when you consider the what the USD is doing to Sterling at the moment, but if Reynolds liquidated his entire net worth he wouldnt even get a sniff of what it would cost to buy the Senators much less run and operate them.
