The Sabres brand is damaged so severely that an overwhelming number of the leagues impact players will not consider coming here. It’s not merely a matter of how those players view the 14 years dwelling in the basement, it’s the players that have been here with their escape from Buffalo stories.

Under This Pegulas ownership, no matter his intention, the Sabres name and logo now represent the worst case scenario for players careers, their hopes, dreams, aspirations, their internal fires for compete and glory in the hockey arenas. No player will willingly come here unless is for monetary gain, the retirement run as it were, where they don’t have to worry about working hard and winning.

That encapsulates what Sabres name and logo have become.

I think we're far, far from this reality. We're not the dumpster fire the Oilers were pre and post McDavid. We're not the Coyotes/Mammoth, We're not the Blackhawks we have more reason for hope near term than the Ducks and Sharks.

There are a lot of bad teams in hockey right now, and we're certainly one of them, but I don't think it's anywhere near as dire as you make it seem. There's nothign wrong with the brand. We start winning some games and the "brand" will be just as good as the Bills.

Slide #1: Cap going up + Sabres stay $8M under = wEEE!

Slide #2: Go Bills!

Yeah I’m 58 now, I’ve completely given up on the Sabres ever doing anything in my lifetime. My only hope now is the Bills win one before I’m gone.

The leagues impact players have never considered Buffalo.

I think you know what I mean.  It's definitely been much longer than the Pegula ownership.  You're even admitting we have to be pretty old to remember that. 

I'm 50 and it's been a long time.

It's pretty simple points

- he frees up more free time for other activities by guaranteeing there won't be anything going on from around April til August

- can make more money renting out the arena for other events from April to around September without the risk of having scheduling conflicts due to last-minute playoffs

- less staff required to keep the arena running when they can shut down sections due to fans staying home

- save money on dinners at fancy restaurants not dining with top tier free agents convincing them to come here

And if all of that failed to knock Terry's socks off, he pulled out photos of Terry spending private time with Hailey Steinfeld and threatens to send them to Josh.......
