Paul Hamilton at around 15:00 states that he has heard from 3 sources that people are interested in buying the Sabres. He then says the highest execs at PSE have called to flatly deny the Sabres are for sale.

Hamilton also really really really doesn’t like the seats at the arena.😀

Both can be true. There could be people who think they could do a better job with the team and want to buy it, but the Pegulas don’t want to sell.

And I concur about the seats. The last game I went to I got seats in the top row so I could stand because at 6’3” my legs get crushed trying to fit them in. Plus they’re not as wide as movie theater seats either.

The tie between Chuck E Goods and @Saber61 is as strong as the tie between that tweet and the truth. 

Are you suggesting you know the truth?

[Doohicksie]

I'm suggesting Chuck E Goods does not.

I can’t imagine why this guy has a problem with the seats at the arena

With attendance so woeful, I see any kind of fan "reachout" to be as normal a state of business affairs as working on next year's landscaping budget. No one's going to tell the people in charge of those things to hold off, and the people in charge of those things would not know to hold off bc the team is being sold. That said, reading the tea leaves is fun. I hope you're wrong, obv.

No, this is afaict something more than they've done this century and different from past attempts to reach out.  And, though it's a small gesture in the grand scheme, IMHO it IS significant.

And they already know several thousand Canadian fans will be back next year as they've already taken their money.  So without doing a single thing positive attendance would be significantly up.  More so than in any other US based rink almost definitely.

You make good points but losing Briere and Drury was the start of the morass we are in now.

I would add Miller getting run over in the crease versus Bruins. I think Drury and Briere leaving started the fall. The thud was Miller getting run and no one standing up.

Not to pick a nit, but Lucic / Miller didn't happen in the crease.

Sorry, what have I missed?

Are the Pegulas actually doing something in terms of courting fans/marketing the team?

@Taro T is the second season ticket holder that paused this season to mention a *reach out* by the team.  The other was @spndnchz, I think in the complaints thread.

Yup. 17 years.

I wonder who’s idea it was to drastically revamp/modernize their social media presence for this season. Revamped, it has certainly been

Sabres have assembled a fan council.

Yes, though it is early in the process.

JAG. An active member of Sabres Twitter is all. And it’s just a take - not a sourced rumor. But it’s also of a piece with the undercurrent of the Pegulas’ looking for an off ramp from owning the Sabres.

Appreciated. I might have missed it since Bone has me blocked on Twitter (for reasons unknown).

If you ever replied to a tweet that was even slightly against what he said he blocks you. I am blocked also

Welcome to the board.  And thanks for information.

No idea how reliable Bardown Buffalo is, but they seem confident.

I’ll believe it when I see it from sources that aren’t questioned as “I wonder how reliable this source is” 😂

that’s just my feelings personally 

 

 

And that’s not to say they are wrong…

Bardown has 89 followers. What possible insight could some smuck ( just like me) have that a real insider doesn't? 

No offense to you Two, thank you for sharing.
