The Jacobs family are one of the most powerful families in the NHL. Jeremy is on the board of governors. When he approves the relocation of the Sabres to another city, that’s when I’ll believe it. Billionaires don’t get to simply decide to pack up and move a team. 

Jeremy Jacobs will be 86 in January. Not to be morbid, but let's not count on that Buffalo-related support for too long.

As much as I have crowed about Terry selling the team, it would in all likelihood mean the end of NHL hockey in Buffalo. We as fans have not seen a real NHL hockey team (always competitive or at least always entertaining hockey games) since Terry became owner. Can new ownership with a different outlook bring hockey fans back to Buffalo via a kick ass AHL franchise and would it be enough to keep those hockey fans engaged and happy? What's better, a chronically bottom of the barrel NHL team or a top notch premier organization in the AHL? 

As a big time Buffalo Bisons fan and lover of the Pepsi cap I must say no to thinking that losing the Sabres and having an AHL team is going to ever be good enough.  

Terry can own the team or someone else can but their job is to find people that know how to run a team and how to win. 

The reason for the Sabres existence ...
