Reading that thread yesterday was amusing to see how quickly people attacked the credibility. Some people don’t want to burn their sources.
I didn’t understand why people were so quick to poo poo it when I thought it was a very real possibility. I know someone mentioned the new scoreboard and roof as proof why he wasn’t selling. When I heard the rumor I immediately thought that may been a condition of the deal.
this is going to be a very interesting summer
Except for the teams involved, the story was dead on!!!!

if they stay in buffalo, there is no way they have appreciated that much. Market is too small... If sold for a higher multiple it is to move them and avoid the franchise fee. They are not worth close to a billion in our market.
Pittsburgh sold for 900 million, and a good chunk of that was the real estate around the new and old rinks. Fenway group was going to walk away without that included.
Forbes latest valuation is $750MM for the Sabres. But the team is still at or near the bottom of all NHL team values. Same with the Bills in the NFL

An Amerks win tonight clinches the #2 seed and home ice in whichever best-of-5 series Rochester plays in, either against likely #3 Cleveland or the winner of the 4/5 play-in round.
Syracuse holds the tiebreaker in regulation wins over Rochester 29-25.
Other key games tonight include Syracuse @ Utica and Laval @ Belleville.

Sabres ECHL affiliate begin their playoff season tonight.

there is no question Pegula wants to sell the Sabres. Rink falling apart, minimized expenses at every level, broke apart integration with Bills, complained to multiple sources how he lost 300 million the first ten years he owned Sabres, shows little interest in team, hires unqualified people etc...
The Sabres value increased 5X since Terry bought them.

The PSL story is not over and may have long lasting bad consequences. The stadium is state funded. The Bills are not any more regional than the Sabres - the games in Toronto proved that, Toronto football fans overwhelmingly cheered for the Bills opponents.
Kim Pegula proved several times over that she does not understand the fan base or sports management in general.
The stadium is only about 50% state funded. Besides, it looks like the story is BS.

Quick Google search for Chris Sacca shows no other stories linking him to the Sabres.

You're really citing this tweet in an "I told you so" victory lap?
No, I'm just sharing what I saw online. At least it's a name. Chris Sacca really is a billionaire who grew up in WNY. I have no idea who frickin' Tony the Tailer is.

Would selling the Sabres to outside interests that relocate them sour his thing with the Bills?
Maybe not that much. The stadium is being built. PSLs are being sold. The Bills are more regional. Didn't Kim Pegula say there wasn't that much overlap?

Remember when I hypothesized about a local billionaire who likes the Sabres? Who knew??

"Mike Augello of The Hockey News gives his take on the firing of Don Granato, the team's inability to add during this past off-season and who might be the next captain of the Sabres." (This discussion begins at 47:33)

I am torn between Gallant and Berube as far as realistic targets. Zero chance Brindy looks in this direction.
Lindy is what? 64? He's not going to want to coach forever (I assume.) What if you brought back Lindy Ruff while promoting Seth Appert to an associate HC role and presumed heir to the job after Ruff retires?

Someone explain why the love for Peca? He's done almost nothing as an AHL or NHL level coach.
Old Sabre nostalgia.

So the only choices are Pegula remains as the Sabres owner, or the franchise is sold and relocated? Okie dokie.
From the "be careful what you wish for" department: Who is goin to spend $650MM to $1B to keep a franchise in Buffalo? Sure, there might be another billionaire from the Buffalo area with a crush on the Sabres. (Although look at the way we treated the last one.) It's way more likely, especially with how Ryan Smith was able to pressure the NHL to sell him the Coyotes, that some out-of-market group would start sniffing around the Sabres. And if you're Terry, how tempting would it be to take a billion with the added bonus of no arena upgrades you have to pay for?

After a brutal 4-4-4 stretch in February, the Amerks are 14-4-1 since Mar. 1.
Per Tim Graham a stake of 25% of the Buffalo Bills is for sale

Yes. He nailed it. Except for the teams being sold and what percentage was being sold. But it did contain the words "Pegula" and "sell" so close enough.
