Yeah Pegula hasn't ever spent to the cap.  The teams lack of resources is on you too.

 

You wouldn't care if the team left Buffalo.  You're disqualified from these comments.

You don’t get to judge anyone.  We are all fans in our own way.  ***** off with that garbage.

We have not spent to the cap in how long?

This is one of your worst posts, and that takes some doing.  You clearly have reading comprehension issues if you think I want this team to leave Buffalo.  

I care deeply for the team and would hate seeing them leave.   I am on record on that.   

I am not an apologist for the poor leadership that has plagued this franchise since Terry took over. If you are happy with the past 13 years so be it. 

 

 

My apologies.  The not caring if they leave Buffalo was another poster.

I had the wrong poster and apologized.  In saying that, you don't ever tell me what to say.

Says the person who started with telling others what they were allowed to say. Got it.  Of course you had the wrong poster, which, while irrelevant to telling others what they can and cannot say, only makes your original take more off mark.

I'll take that deal, so long as I see you say that to the other posters that do it.

Yet you didn't address Weave for doing it.  Stay consistent at least.

Without your initial comment telling people how they can act there would not have been a possibility of a response. That's called the initiating action. I am commenting on the initiating action.

I will comment on other initiating actions so I can retain my consistency, just for you.  No need to deflect and play the "what about the other guy?" card.

There is a need because it's what's done on the site consistently.  Veteran posters, especially the negative ones, rally around and think they're the fandom czars. 

You and he could just as easily said, I saw you apologized and commented no more.  But that's not enough for you.  You must insult people and don't want any fight back.

A few things. Tom Golisano has repeatedly said the Sabres were not for sale when Pegula approached him about purchasing them. It is also well documented that there is a non relocation clause contained in the sale contract.  Tim Graham was the reporter who had the best sources during the Bills Sale Process, reported that any potential buyer who was interested in moving the franchise out of WNY was politely told that was not going to happen. Tom Golisano was asked about his interest  purchasing the Bills and his response was I will step in if was no other option to keep the team in Buffalo, the very reason he purchased the Sabres in the first place. 
 

There have been multiple articles on how there is little to no benefit to public funding of sports stadiums to taxpayers.  This is a necessary evil for small markets if they want pro sports franchises.  That being said let’s not micturate on taxpayers leg and tell them it’s raining. Although I do fully expect the building of a smaller version of Patriots Place on the site of the current ECC South Campus, let’s be real. The current stadium opened 50 years ago and there has been almost zero development in the surrounding area. 

 

In terms of the team being young as a reason for not spending more towards the cap, they were even younger after the 2022-23 season when the missed the playoffs by one point. Since then there two full off-seasons when they have not spend anywhere near the cap. Expected Buffalo,  Matthew Fairburn from the Athletic and Joe Marino have all put together realistic contracts for the Sabres pending RFAs this summer, which would leave them ample cap space moving forward. This doesn’t even include the possibility of the cap rising even more than 4 million next season. Besides the most competitive teams in the league are very creative and have little trouble managing the salary cap. 

Good post.  But not sure what your point about Cheatriots Place is.  Shaffer stadium was around for about 40 years with NOTHING built up near it.  That there hasn't been any development around Rich likely won't reflect on what happens around the new stadium.  Pegula built a lot of stuff near the MMArena when there hadn't been anything but parking lots and Cobblestone along with the long since abandoned Aud there prior to his involvement.
