This team has to close one out. Gotta do it.

Krebs needs to shoot more. Twice he's given up good chances.

I totally don't understand this comment. Are you suggesting that if the Sabres weren't for sale, they wouldn't try to get better?

Here's a good article on the Golisano era. https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/tom-saved-hockey-in-buffalo-how-the-golisano-years-rescued-the-sabres/article_6ae709fc-fac8-5e61-bb8d-ea60ff8e35cb.html As for the team being good, Tom benefited more from timing. He bought right before the Lockout. The Sabres surprised everyone when play resumed. The real architect was Darcy Regier.

I believe $189MM was the price.

Hasn't their goaltending been sub par of late?

But take note that the idea of Hamilton team was dead in the water even before this came about.

True but they aren't scoffing at in-game revenue. In fact she if they betting money Congress from sports books right inside the stadium. My boss took me to a Pats game this year. He's a station ticket holder. It had been a few years since I had been to Gillette and it's changed quite a bit. A Davio's restaurant with game views and a huge sports book there now. Why add those things if revenue from attendance doesn't matter?

That was the one and only time that rumor was floated. That led to Peters vague prediction. Now the flourish of Jemel tweets.

And it might have been easy to say no when the Leafs and the league said "hell naw" to a team in Hamilton.

You act like owners don't care about the $5-6MM gross per game. Don't forget the road team gets 40%.

I agree Bettman would not like a relocation. But that's not a guarantee it won't happen. Moving the Coyotes doesn't change their franchise value that much. Moving the Sabres would. If Canada doesn't make crossing the border easy again, the Sabres won't be viable. The Bills can survive without Canada because they only have 10 dates with games once a week. Hockey has 41 home dates. Most are on weeknights. Which means you have to live nearby to go to games. Losing Canadians that will cross the border weeknights will kill the franchise.

Go on Two Bills Drive. The Bills are a national brand now. The Sabres are a quaint local distraction.

Cannoli?

They can do whatever they want. Most Bills fans don't care about or follow the Sabres.

Despite @PASabreFan's belief that unicorns will suddenly fly around Key Bank Center farting rainbows once the Pegulas are gone, this team could sell out every game and still not be worth half what it would be in any other major city, or even Quebec City. The Sabres are an undervalued asset. Exactly the red meat MBA-types look for. Don't trust any owner without a connection to this region.

I'm sure they'll make the playoffs, before announcing the move to Houston.

They are 3 spots out of last, so they are pooping the bed either way.

He's a guy who buys undervalued properties and increases their value.

I wonder if Buffalo would support an ECHL franchise? Probably can't get an AHL one.

Just a temporary identity. Google "Hulk Lawyer."

What were some of the narratives on draft day? Terry overruled Kevyn? Kim overruled Kevyn? Kevyn is an idiot? How do you pick Josh Allen over Josh Rosen?

All it takes is one game with the Sabres, then BAM! Your leg falls off.

Bardown not backing off. C'mon. We are past "marketing" at this point. Is some giveaway going to bring 10K more people in? Improving the team is the only course.
