I don't necessarily want Pegula to sell the team.  I want him to be a good owner who spends to the cap every year and who doesn't tolerate continued front office failure.

I think this is what we honestly all want... its just that after 14 years expecting him to actually change that radically seems a bit of a farce... but certainly if he was able to and bring in the appropriate people to run it and get results I am not sure you would have any objections from this board.

In that same segment Hamilton whines about ppl wanting to power to hit... no Paul, we want power to play good hockey. 

I don't want Adams looking at anyone. He needs to be fired, now. 

To be fair, there is a large segment of Sabres fans that refuse to measure Owen Power on any metric other than hitting.

Which is hilarious because if you drew a circle of those ppl and the ppl who think size equals toughness, there would be only 1 circle.

I find it nuts (but probably not) that Arizona was a garbage team for awhile, they get a new owner/location and suddenly they are one of the better teams in the league. Is this just a cloud of a bad owner being lifted? Were they going to breakout anyway?

Idc what you call it. Buffalo is currently near the bottom of the eastern conference and if the draft were right now they'd draft 9th overall. Glad we won, we aren't good enough and Kevyn should add to the team. 

If you think of this season so far as two seasons, the Sabres got 0.000 standings points in the first 3 games.

In the last nine games they got 13 / 18 possible points, or 72.2%.

If the last nine games are what the Sabres really are, the get 72.2% of 158 possible points (164 total, minus 6 for the 3 game losing streak to start the season).  That is a 114 point season.

Are they the team that lost three at the start?  Hopefully not anymore.  Are they the team that got 13 points in their last 9 games?  I find it hard to believe they will sustain that pace to be honest, but if they're more like the team of the last 9 games and less like the team of the 3 game start, the Buffalo Sabres will be in the playoffs.

I said it earlier:  The 0-3 start lit a fire under them.  They started out behind, but they rose to the challenge (so far) and have played good hockey since then.  Hopefully they fully overcome the slow start, and the Sabres that accomplish that are the Sabres we see for the rest of the season.

Of course another 3 game pointless streak would wash all that down the drain.  But I'm optimistic.  The team is playing better as a team than they have in recent seasons.

@LGR4GM was right.  And I was so foolishly optimistic.

That just makes me sad.

That's why i want new ownership. I'll take my chances that they would keep the team in Buffalo or not. 

A new owner would just luck their way into a better situation here, much like previous Sabres owners did.
