Guest Posted February 1, 2011 Report Share Posted February 1, 2011 Just curious...how much of that is due to the cessation of the affiliation with Buffalo, as opposed to the decline in Rochester's economy (which started well after the decline here in Buffalo)? Some of each? For the record (and sorry, wildcat), I do hope the Sabres move the farm operations to Rochester. It just makes sense on every level, as long as Donner isn't going to be mucking it up. This article is a good read and talks about the attendance and future of the Amerks affiliation. Amerks It's not happening.... not anytime soon however. Spoken to both organizations and the current deal run through 2016 and with the renovations taking place on horizon the Sabres are actually looking at moving their prospect camp to Maine has part of a year round training facility for all their prospects. Did they Sabres/Pirates recently sign an extention? The current deal only goes through the 2013/2014 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teds comments sure seem to indicate the Amerks are going to lay low for 1 year and rehook up with the Sabres again. What is Teds, Darcys, and Lindys relationship like? Anybody know?

Amerks Did they Sabres/Pirates recently sign an extention? The current deal only goes through the 2013/2014 season. The deal was through 2013-14, but both sides agreed to a two option which will take the deal out until 2016. "An ownership change would not impact our existing agreement," said Pirates' Owner and CEO Brian Petrovek. "Our current deal runs through the 2013-2014 season with terms in place and agreed to by us and Buffalo for the two seasons after that (2014-15 and 2015-16)." As for the deal being broken.... That only works if both sides want to break. I'm not sure the Pirates want to spilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
