You maybe right, but would a group wanting to move the team to Toronto allow for the postponement of the series,no matter how underwhelming it has been?
I always found it interesting that Pegula bought a sports agency with some NFL Clients, started the Pegula Sports and Entertainment Group and self financed the building of the HarborCenter in Downtown Buffalo. I think he would be willing to pay 300-400 million of his own money to get a new stadium built. Kelly's Group probably is the front runner, but who is to say Pegula has not agreed to become a primary investor in it? Pure speculation on my part of course.
The Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz, who is a lawyer, plus Marc Ganis who a stadium lease guru, he helped the Rams and Raiders leave LA, both said no this is not possible.
If the Wilson Estate wants to keep the team in Buffalo, a non relocation clause will be in the purchase agreement. Goliasno put one in the sale of the Sabres to Pegula, so they could not be moved.
I wonder if the parameters for a sale of the team including a purchase price were put in place by Ralph and the prospective ownership group a while ago. It's interesting that Jason LaCanfora reported the name that most often came up with the other owners during the recent meetings was Terry Pegula. It maybe wishful thinking on my part.
I remember Ed Kilgore from Channel 2 during his final few months on the air, speaking about the fact he had spoken to a potential ownership group who does have the money to purchase the team and possibly build a new stadium in WNY. A short time later he went to work for Terry Pegula, could he be the potential owner Kilgore was referring to?

#Browns blockbuster announcement: Ray Farmer promoted to GM, Joe Banner to step down as CEO, GM Michael Lombardi to leave team.
Anyone think their New HC maybe having second thoughts?

Jim Schwartz comes from Belichick coaching tree. Bills’ first coaching hire taps into that tree, providing new dynamic within AFC East.

Former Patriots assistant coach Pepper Johnson has joined the Bills coaching staff, @MikeReiss confirms. (as @coachingsearch first reported)
Mike Rodak @mikerodak 1m
Pepper Johnson has experience as both a DL and LB coach. Bills do not currently have LB coach, and DL coach Anthony Weaver could join CLE.
Hardly Surprising...
