Alfredsson, who was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in November, indicated he\u0027d like sit down with whoever purchases the team to discuss a front office fit.
The level of interest has even been higher than the NHL expected when GSP announced in November it would be handling the sale of the Senators for the family of late owner Eugene Melnyk. If all goes as planned, the league would like the sale wrapped up by mid-June.Article contentAlfredsson was on hand at the Ottawa Business Journal’s Mayor’s Breakfast with Mark Sutcliffe on Thursday and told the people gathered at the event he would like to play a meaningful role in the club’s hockey operations.
“I said I want to wait to see what happened, but I would love for it to be a meaningful role. That was my feeling in the summer, and I feel it even more so now, being around the team,” Alfredsson said. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman stated this month more than 15 groups were granted permission to enter the data room to get a look at the club’s financial statements and a copy of the memorandum of understanding with the National Capital Commission for a new rink at LeBreton Flats.
“The league may want more time to get the price they want for the Senators,” a league insider said Thursday. “This could be being done to benefit the NHL.” Toronto-based billionaire Michael Andlauer, a part-owner of the Montreal Canadiens, along with former Pittsburgh Penguins investors Jeffrey and Michael Kimel, have been listed as the frontrunners since the Melnyk family confirmed it was selling the Senators.Article content
