It's now official!
In the past few hours, NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has finally approved the sale of the Ottawa Senators to former minority shareholder of the Montreal Canadiens, Michael Andlauer.
The businessman, who owned 10% of the shares in the Canadiens organization, has thus become the new owner of the Ontario team. He had notably been part of the hiring process for Kent Hughes as the general manager of the CH in 2022.
Here is the official announcement from the Ottawa Senators:
Now owner of the Senators, it's understood that Michael Andlauer will no longer be a member of the Montreal organization.
On that note, according to information reported by Renaud Lavoie, he would have sold his shares (10%) to the current team shareholders. So, there won't be a new investor joining the Montreal Canadiens.
"According to several sources, the shares held by Michael Andlauer in the CanadiensMTL were bought back by the current franchise shareholders. So there's no new investor." - Renaud Lavoie
One case settled for the Senators, who can now fully focus on the 2023-2024 season!
