Peters Says to Expect Major Changes to the Organization Before End of Season

There could be ... Nothing.

Ever since Andrew Peters got the scoop on the Eichel trade, because he knows the Tuch family, he's been getting carried away with his insider takes. He's constantly saying he's hearing this or that on his podcast, and nothing comes of it.

Could be, although I wouldn’t say that he is constantly making incorrect predictions though.  Do you have other examples?

If you look at what he actually said:

“a good friend told him to expect major changes...”

That’s far from a guarantee of anything.

Also the podcast, After the Whistle, is great.  Only thing that I don’t like about it is they have Roenick on pretty often and I think he is often annoying.

Sometimes.  Sometimes it's unlistenable.  It depends on the topic and the guest.

Lol, occasionally Peters and Rivet drift into the weeds discussing something stupid when they don’t have a guest.

Roenick reveals what a dirtbag he is. Basically admits he was watching football scores on the arena scoreboard during a game while playing for the Flyers because of bets he made. Bobby Clarke had to call him out on it.

Roenick really has a bug up his rear for "liberals."

As much as I dislike the guy's views and half-baked hot takes, the guy is an open book and knows how to have a good time.  I'd definitely hang with the guy and do some day drinking.  He seems like he can take it as well as he can give it, and that's what I appreciates about him.

Roenick is annoying sometimes but he really has great stories.  A window into an airhead’s journey through the NHL.

Roenick is still steamed for losing his job, and, like many in similar situations, has doubled down on blaming others.

Roenick is dumber than a bag of hammers, but some of his stories are entertaining.  

Currently listening to today's episode, they have Marty Wilford on, and Donny Meatballs dropped in for a second.  Interesting that Rivet and Peters are getting access, all things considered.

Just finished listening. How cool is it Donnie just drops in? Have you ever heard a head coach be that loosey-goosey with the media? No wonder the Sabres locker room is so great now. DG is the embodiment of chill.

I am pretty sure the NHL does not allow an owner to pledge an ownership interest in the team to a lender as collateral.

I would be shocked if an NHL team didn’t have a working line of credit collateralized by the organization. But I don’t know that.

Probably don't need the 250mil anymore between the deal they got on the stadium and energy price increases. 

One possibility is money for renovations to Key Bank Center, it needs updating and I doubt that NYS/Erie County is going to be willing to pay for another stadium upgrade in WNY.

Agree.  That drop in was great, as was the whole interview with the Sabres’ defense coach Marty Wilford.

A line of credit, sure, but I don’t think the NHL allows a situation in which a lender could become an owner if the loan goes into default.

Just a leverage play vs the state. Shows over

I guess. Is it the county that owns the building?

Which is why I can't listen to the shown when he's on.

Why would a lender have such a large unsecured loan?

Most lenders wouldn't, although some would make unsecured loans at higher interest rates based on the team's cash flow.

My understanding, having seen some internal NHL documents, is that the league is pretty focused and has pretty strict rules regarding debt that the teams can take on.

Sorry to drag up a dated thread, but I’ve had a few Voodoo Ranger Imperial IPAs and I’m a posting fool right now.  🤷

Where’s the news? The draft is six weeks from today.
Peters broke a couple things including the Eichel trade, but this seems to be aging like milk.

Go home, Five Hole, you're drunk!  😄

It’s possible he meant the end of the NHL year, which still has some time left, but no news of late might indicate this was a nothing-burger.

He was feeling his oats when he nailed the Eichel trade. So he's been trying be "Scoop Peters" ever since, and whiffing every time. Then again if anything happens: a scout gets hired, a new title for someone, etc, he'll take the credit.

Peters is a dope.  If not for this, he would be working his way up the Sabres broadcasting food chain.

I don't know about Rivet but Peters strikes me as a guy you can't tell what to do. His podcast has some tremendous episodes, followed up with a self-gratuitous clunker. His episodes with JR have become unlistenable. (Roenick is another free spirit still bitter that he got let go from NBC.) After the Whistle would benefit from a professional guiding hand, but I don't think Peters wants to be reigned in.
