The head of the National Capital Commission says he's optimistic it will finalize a long-term lease with the Ottawa Senators for an arena at LeBreton Flats this fall, even with the franchise up for sale.
NCC CEO Tobi Nussbaum says talks continue with the Senators senior management on a long-term lease agreement to build an arena on the land west of downtown Ottawa.
Nussbaum says the NCC has had no discussions with NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman or prospective owners on a new downtown arena."In the meantime, I do need to stress that the conservations and the process continues with the senior management team of the Ottawa Senators." Mueller insists the sale process has not disrupted talks between the NCC and Capital Sports Development on a new arena.
Postmedia reported this week that New York-based banker Galatioto Sports Partners are expected to open the due-diligence website this week to allow prospective buyers to look at the team's finances. Bettman said in December that more than a dozen potential bidders signed a non-disclosure agreement to view the Senators' finances.
"But the message that we've heard is there's an expectation that there will continue to be interest by new owners in the team to proceed with the construction of a downtown arena. So there's no cause for concern," Nussbaum said.
