I am beginning to think that the only thing between the Sabres relocating and not right now is the disparity in the fee the NHL collects for a new franchise vs a relocation. Currently $2 Billion via $200 Million. I would not be at all surprised that Terry is looking for an exit ramp from the Sabres nightmare, but easier said than done.
I don’t think he’s looking for an exit ramp.1 hour ago, boater said:Pegula is just doing house cleaning of his financial portfolio, as men his age like to do.
He's getting rid of marginal operations.*
He's keeping profitable operations.
Nothing to see here.
* he'd sell the Sabres if he could, but he would do so at a loss right now and is waiting for them to uptick in value
He paid $150M for them. He is not seeing at least a 6X return. -

If the COYOTES can find a home in Utah and the Kraken established in Seattle, then that is definitely a ridiculous statement to make. The Sabres could be bought up by a Quebec group and moved to Quebec City or even investment from a group to move them to Houston. Remember the North Stars? The Nordiques? The Whalers? Anything is possible.
If, and only If, Terry stipulates that the new owner has to keep the team in Buffalo will have to take a lot less for it.-

When a guy has a historically bad run with a team in the big 4 leagues, it is not irrational to go "man this guy could really be a major liability in the post McBeane/Allen era".
How the Sabres do has no bearing ant all on how the Bills do. As long as they have Josh Allen at quarterback, they will be a good team. And if McBeane gets removed, there will be many good GM’s and coaches clamoring for the positions.-

I don't hate anyone doc. that post wasn't about Pegula....
Sure it was. You seem to think that making a team competitive after 17 years of missing the playoffs should happen immediately.

Then you fire the GM,full stop, you don't rely on yourself and the marketing guy to take over the responsibility.
Pegula has a history of overruling his personnel people in both orgs.
Sorry, I missed the part where you said that he was overruled in Rex Ryan’s hiring. That’s not what I had heard. He wasn’t involved in Rex Ryan’s firing, but that’s probably because he was on the way out himself after the team failed to progress and his terrible drafts. -

The problem with selling the Sabres is finding an new owner that a) wants to spend a billion dollars on the team and b) then keep them in Buffalo. With Canadians not crossing the border, that really hurts Sabres attendance even beyond their underperformance the last decade plus. A sale of the Sabres means 99% likely the team moves.
Yup. That’s the problem with hoping for a new owner.1 hour ago, Mango said:Hiring a HC against your GM's wishes then firing a HC without consulting your GM is bad ownership. This is a 14 year pattern with Pegula and the Sabres.
That is a really bad excuse for the Pegula run Sabres.
If you didn’t think much of your GM in the first place… -

Marrone walked, Russ "Don't let Rex leave without a contract" Brandon, and then Doug "nobody told me we fired the HC" Whaley. That is very dysfunctional and mirrors the Sabres.
He inherited all those people. It took him a minute to realize that he needed to let them all go.
And characterizing Marrone as “walking” is disingenuous. He tried a power-play and Terry wasn’t having it so he told him “there’s the door.” if you really thought he was worth keeping he would’ve given into his demands.
And yeah, Rex was a mistake. But a short-lived one. Is Kraft suddenly a crappy owner because he hired Mayo for a season?

I said the Sabres are on their way out.
The reference about the Bills was about being a pro sports owner without McBeane managing the Bills.
Nearly every sports venture Pegula has been apart of sans McDermott and/or Beane has been a disaster. That includes the Bills.
Not sure why the hate but that’s so wrong it’s laughable. All of Pegula teams outside of the Sabres made the playoffs this past season. The Bandits even won the championship. Maybe we have a different definition of “disaster.”As for the Bills, they’ll be contenders for at least the next decade with Josh at the helm. And that will be with or without McBeane.

How do you get that the Bills are “on their way out” from the sale of the Nighthawks? With Kim‘s health issues and Terry getting up in age, I can see him wanting to divest from the smaller potatoes. I can also see him selling the Sabres, which should make a lot of Sabres fans happy. But the Bills are doing great (and so are the other non-Sabres teams), and will be for the foreseeable future.

The sleeper cells, if there any, will not attack. Iran won’t dare.

Pretty wild how well they had these logistics down without the enemy even able to track them
I heard they’ve been practicing (for) this since 2008. -

I have no idea how anyone can be a dt fan. He literally led an effort that involved most congressional and many GOP senators, combined with state-by-state local efforts with fake lectors to delay and then overthrow a fair election. He is a traitor by any definition. He brings no special talents or team members to make our future better.
Actually, I do have an idea on dt supporters - either willfully ignorant, racist, brainwashed, myopically rich or simply so angry for some reason they want to destroy the pillars of our country that made it great.... just to get even in some imaginary score
Short answer: we saw what Democrats tried to do during his first four years. And then saw what Biden did during his four years. -
If they elect him, they deserve him.

WELL, I’M GLAD WE CLEARED ALL THAT UP:
Russia Confesses
Iran has always claimed that its nuclear program is aimed at civilian uses, not production of nuclear weapons.
This is an absurd pretense: Iran has abundant oil resources, and no reason to build nuclear power plants. Do other oil-producing countries, like Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the Emirates, invest countless billions in atomic energy? Of course not. Nevertheless, the mullahs have stuck doggedly to this excuse.
Earlier today, Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council and Vladimir Putin’s right-hand man, let the cat out of the bag:
“What have the Americans accomplished with their nighttime strikes on three nuclear sites in Iran?” Medvedev questioned in a post on social media. “The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.”
Well, there you have it. The issue is not electricity, it is the “future production of nuclear weapons,” which “now we can say…outright.”
So our military strike was fully justified.

A number of countries are also ready to supply Ukraine with nuclear weapons… -

I would demand that a SecDef be fired for some underlings leaking plans to an American journalist of a successful mission…just because he’s black? LOL! Not even close. There is nothing that he would have “pulled.”I would, however, demand that the underlings be relieved of duties. Which is what happened.
