pi2000 Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 I'd guess well less than 50% of Bills fans (worldwide) are also Sabres fans.... maybe around 15-20%. That said, likely more than 50% of Sabres fans are Bills fans... 60-70%. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porous Five Hole Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 "No. None of them are for sale," Raccuia said on the front lawn of The Breakers hotel. "None of them are for sale, none will be. There's no plans at all for that." According to Forbes' annual valuation of NHL teams, the Sabres are ranked No. 29 with a valuation of $500 million. The Pegulas purchased the team for $165 million in 2011. I am not going to go down the road of a minority ownership group for as long as Terry is alive. He doesn’t need the cash. If the team was in dire straights, he could simply collateralize the team with a line of credit with this equity. So I guess this speculation is all tied to front office reshuffling at the end of the season? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, it was only now that they came out and denied them. Why the long wait? My guess is they were exploring sales, maybe even part of the stadium negotiations, but now have back away from them.

Or....the rumors were mostly BS, or one-sided. (Someone leaks they are inquiring about the Sabres but the team says no.) As to why not refute the rumors sooner, why give a rumor the respect of a response? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GASabresIUFAN Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 If the Sabres aren’t being sold and the coach and GM are staying? What major “changes” are coming? Toilet seats in the bathrooms ? 20% increase in ticket prices? The broadcast team will travel with the team again? A return to video only scouting?

It could be new titles for the brass: Kevyn to President of Hockey Operations, Karmanos to GM, something like that. I think we're just starting to see the result of Kevyn's strategic plan; I'd hate for that to get disrupted at this point. After 2 failed GMs it finally feels like we have a GM who both understands what a good team looks like, and can methodically take the steps to turn that into reality. I also like that Kevyn communicates up and down the chain. His upward communication seems to be stifling the "meddling" of ownership, while the downward communication ensures that his coach is getting the players (or types of players) to execute the kind of game plan he wants to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing. Ever since Andrew Peters got the scoop on the Eichel trade, because he knows the Tuch family, he's been getting carried away with his insider takes. He's constantly saying he's hearing this or that on his podcast, and nothing comes of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Peters announcement that started this thread my intuition tells me that Kim will be stepping down as the president of the Sabres so she can be more focused on the Bills because those are two distinct full-time jobs. I'd expect someone internal in the Sabres front office to replace her. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
