Skooby Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) I was told Pegs did the split to sell the Sabres at a profit, staying in-town wasn’t assured. Current arena is crap, he privately sold land all around there to eliminate assets. Wife won’t be around to change anything & she liked to run the Sabres organization into the ground, no longer a concern.

Buffalo has decent tv ratings but small market. Oklahoma City looks to be the landing spot, other wealthy guy in town isn’t getting a hometown discount. Funny..... my source is beating the same drum. Heard Bettman is looking south... OKC, HOU, KC. Hold up on Dahlin contract is due to the fact that a pricey long term deal will make it more difficult to sell the team. If a sale can't be arranged soon, they're exploring all optiions... including playing the 2024/25 season at Holiday Twin Rinks or Sabreland.

All that land never built on, lots of promises but no action. It’s odd he’d put on this big a show to only fail, you’d think billions would be enough especially after the serious health issues.

Turbo44 Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Makes perfect sense. Bettman goes above and beyond to keep the team in ARI but he wants to move the BUF franchise cuz it gets way too high TV ratings and embarrasses other markets. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastajoe Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 My Uber driver said he drove Bettman and Pegula in his Pontiac Sunfire, and heard that the new affiliation with ECHL Jacksonville is the first step of a franchise swap between the cities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flashsabre Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Yes Pegula selling the Sabres and having them move out of town but holding onto the Bills would be a fantastic business strategy. People wouldn’t be upset with Pegula at all.😂😂😂😂😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, this should be listed as a parody thread or some kind of joke because seriously there are a few of us that don't know if any of the posts are real. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's selling land in downtown, it was probably purchased for the contingency of the new Bills stadium downtown. Now that it's being built in OP no reason to hang onto any of this alleged land. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skooby Posted September 6, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 Kim Pegula was our 40-50 year owner, life expectancy for billionaire women is typically very high. This is simply not good. Also thinking a billionaire wouldn’t cash out for profit is naive, how do you think they got that rich ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They point their fingers at me and laugh. Some shout, "hey, there goes Mr. Poopy Pants!" It makes me sad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
