‘The Golisano ownership era is set to close with Terry Pegula’s purchase of the Sabres, expected to be completed by the end of the month. Golisano and minority owner Larry Quinn will hold a news conference at noon today in HSBC Arena to discuss the sale. They are certain to talk about the highlights of their past and reasons to be excited for the future. One reason is clear: The organization leaves Golisano’s hands in better shape than it entered them, at least as far as off-ice matters are concerned.’
