Terry Pegula's problem is the same problem an entire host of people have. The Dunning-Kruger effect. Terry doesn't understand as much about hockey as he thinks but since his understanding is so limited/bad he overestimates his abilities OVER AND OVER. This is compounded by the fact he is a billionaire and when you are that wealthy, you have a very important super power. If you don't like what someone tells you, you just fire them and get someone to confirm the reality you want to live in. It is why the super rich are so out of touch when it comes to just about everything. When they hear things they don't like, they change them or insulate themselves so they don't have to hear it anymore. Bill Gates (I think it is him) grew a giant hedge around his property in LA which is against the zoning or HOA whatever and guess what, he doesn't care because the 10k fine a month is nothing. He has so much money that he just forces reality to his will. Terry is the same, it is why he has vanished from the public side of the Sabres. It went down hill, he didn't like the scrutiny, so now he shows up during important times, gets to play owner and make decisions, then flies on back to Florida where he basks in the success of the money printing NFL team he owns and the soon to open fancy new stadium. He built a hedge around his Sabres ownership so he doesn't have to see or hear the "WTF!" that is coming from the fanbase.
