Our offensive numbers are good.

Our defensive numbers are good (they actually are this year).

Our goaltending stinks. 

If we get a breakout goalie to play at or near the top third of the league like our offense and defense, then we are jolted.

It genuinely feels to me like the only way out starts with a new owner.  Outside players don’t respect the team.  We fear every good, established player on the roster is on the verge of bailing out.  Our stars aren’t star enough to carry the team for more than a game or two.  The coach isn’t the answer.  The AHL coach isn’t the answer. The GM is over his head.  We have quite a few good, young kids, but none of them project into stars.

How about Terry transferring managing control of the team to one of his children?  What’s the worse that could happen?  They fail to qualify for the playoffs for a decade +?  I am not sure a sale of the team helps those who care for a NHL team in WNY.

I am not sure that Pegula ownership helps those that care for an NHL team in WNY.
