The Senators had been looking for a new owner since last November. The organization is currently owned by Olivia and Anna Melnyk, heiresses of former owner Eugene Melnyk, who passed away in March 2022.
An impact on the future of Patrick Roy?
Could this sale to the Andlauer group have an impact on the future career of Patrick Roy, who decided to resign as head coach and general manager of the Remparts?
TSN insider Darren Dreger mentioned during the Memorial Cup tournament that one of the groups looking to buy the Senators would like Roy becomes the team’s head coach.
On the selection committee
The identity of the group in question has not been specified, but many believe that it is that of Mr. Andlauer. The latter was part of the committee responsible for appointing a replacement for Marc Bergevin as general manager of the Habs, in January 2022, along with Geoff Molson, Jeff Gorton and Bob Gainey.

Patrick Roy
The committee had met a dozen candidates, including Patrick Roy, and had finally opted for the candidacy of Kent Hughes.
However, DJ Smith is still, to this day, the head coach of the Ottawa Senators.
