Rumors abound of a potential shakeup in the executive suite of Buffalo Sabres. I've asked the principals for comment. No response thus far.

What the heck does that even mean? Devine fired? No idea

Executive side is Black, Benson, and Sawyer.

[Brawndo]

Black or Sawyer on the way out?

[G-Daddy]

JW, what's the deal?

[Sabres Fan in NS]

Sawyer's job is done, so .........

[Eleven]

JW, what's the deal?

 

Shh don't wake him.

[Tondas]

Who called Darcy a genius? That's the guy to get fired.

[Brawndo]

Sawyer's job is done, so .........

 

Maybe that is part of Craig Patrick's Contract he gets to fire Ken Sawyer?

Sounds like some more front office dysfunction with the Sabres. Word should get out soon.

 

This guy covers the Islanders and he calls the Sabres Front Office Dysfunctional????

[Hoss]

Shakeup doesn't mean dysfunction. So there must be something more.

Nobody should be shaking up anything in leadership 4 days before the trade deadline.

Doesn't really matter too much if it's somebody more on the business side of things.

I know nothing, but I'm going to speculate. Pegula probably wants PLF as an alternate on the BOG.

That means Black or Sawyer steps back. Probably Sawyer.

 

But I don't know a thing, but I have been wondering if it was going to happen. I'd be surprised if this was a big deal on the hockey side.

Something is up with Pat LaFontaine and the Buffalo Sabres.

 

 

Oh crap

[Hoss]

Now this:

 

@FriedgeHNIC: Something is up with Pat LaFontaine and the Buffalo Sabres.

 

I don't like where this is going.

[Stoner]

Terry is not happy with the snick snack selection in the vending machines. The new Butterfinger peanut butter cup gummed up some of his bridgework. New vendor! I'm calling it. This could be the biggest such shakeup at Seymour H. Knox Plaza since OSP put in a dollar and his Snickers just hung there.

Oh crap

What. The. F***.

[Stoner]

Oh, boy.

[Hoss]

Maybe he's pissed at the trade and wanted more say in the move?

 

@FriedgeHNIC: Something is up with Pat LaFontaine and the Buffalo Sabres.

 

 

Also worth wondering if he's mad that Murray has said he's going to keep Nolan around?

May be relevant today: LaFontaine quit Isles after 40 days in 2006 when Wang hired Snow and Pat didn't have any input.

[Stoner]

Anything coming out of the Buffalo sports media?

[nfreeman]

Trying not to panic...

I'm with you on this one X.

I have inquired with both Pat LaFontaine and Ted Black about the current Internet chatter. No response as of yet, same as with TSN. #Sabres

 

As usual nope
