LabattBlue Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 (edited) How would you feel if Pegula bailed on the Sabres? I don’t care what is behind door #2, it can’t possibly be worse than the Pegula era. Edited October 5 by LabattBlue 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LTS Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 I don't care who buys it or if the team moves. This team is an insult to the city of Buffalo because of the owner. People laugh about Buffalo because they equate the Sabres to the city. Who wants that? Get it over with already. 2 1 2 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pastajoe Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 There aren’t any local investors who would buy the team. Any buyer would likely require a new arena or move the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 No. The problem is not with ownership overall, except when he listened to terrrible advice that one time. That set the team back for a decade +. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they chose another option in 2014 we likely would have been back in the playoff long ago and maybe back to actual contending for another cusp (hey, of @Stoner). No guarantees, but the odds would have been far greater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He built Harbor Center and the whole area around the arena. He renovated the arena. He guaranteed the team would stay in Buffalo. He has spent a lot of money on the team and fascilities. He has not shyed away from paying players. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do remember when they were paying most of the team league minimum? Also they fired basically the whole front office. When I say what he did as an owner I didn’t mean building *****. It’s easy to build buildings. It’s hard building a winning NHL team. He’s spending money on players because they had one good season a couple years ago. Which appears to be an anomaly at this point. he replaced the roof and put in a new Jumbotron. That is basically the upgrades to the arena. the only thing that he did was keep the team in Buffalo. Just about every decision after that was a disaster Edited October 5 by Sidc3000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidc3000 Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 This is the problem with many fans. They constantly hold out hope and see things through rose colored glasses. The team isn’t good. The players are not that good, the organization is not good. Until we see constantly great play, then the team isn’t good. I’m 51 years old, I’m tired of waiting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#freejame Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 I would rather the Sabres and Bills both leave Buffalo than spend another day where Terry shits all over my favorite sports team. We aren’t a serious franchise. He’s the reason. 2 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorner Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 Come on, this isn’t a serious question. A sports-historic run of ineptitude aligns precisely with his tenure. Yes, a million times over yes. It would save the franchise He’s the biggest issue, by far Would defy logic to suggest we could pull a worse rabbit out of the hat. You don’t fear stuff like that when your current hand is the worst possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 Would anyone be unhappy if he sold the team? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoat87 Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 Don't want him to sell the team. If he does, you will never see another hockey team in Buffalo. Better off hoping that eventually things will change -- he will either do what Dolan did with the Knicks where he hired someone competent and stayed out of their business, or his kids get more involved and either talk some sense into him or assume ownership themselves. I live in New York City and went through hell with Dolan where he felt he knew best. Eventually things changed and look where the Knicks are now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverPowerYou Posted October 5 Report Share Posted October 5 I worked today. I asked Siri at 2pm who won the Sabres game because i forgot they were playing. I was expecting to see Devils 3, Sabres 1. I laughed when I saw it. That’s my relationship with the Sabres right now. Sell them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
