Terry is not giving up the Sabres. The Bills and Sabres are going to go on their own which is probably a good thing. I would think that all the other organizations that were within PSE are the ones that may have changes in them. With the Kim situation, breaking away from "country music" and some other media stuff may keep Terry just focused on Bills and Sabres. 1 Quote
Bangarang Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Likely means nothing. Although we can now prepare to buy Two Buffalo merch. 5 Quote
WotAGuy Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 If Terry is looking for cash, he needs to hit up @Einstein Have you seen that dude’s tax return? 🤑 4 2 Quote

Better than Quebec City? Gary Betman believes that. He singlehandedly kept the Sabres in Buffalo when the Sabres Owner went BANKRUPT. AND the Coyotes in Arizona. Hmmm... 1 Quote

Edit: Why the laughing emoji, Dillenger4? Do I smell a wager? it's a good time to sell. he's a businessman. i don't know that he actually cares about sports or championships as much as the bottom line. 1 minute ago, HIT BY SPIKES said: Better than Quebec City?

The other is time management with Kim being in her challenges. IMO, Terry would give up all the other entities that were under PSE before giving up the Bills and Sabres, and there are a bunch of them. Quote

Has that ever stopped them before? If they thought there was more lucrative market (higher ticket prices, luxury boxes, brand new barn, etc) out there, the league would do it. If only to play that market to get the bucks for the arena renos. Would be nice to see the Jacobs family, Pegulas, and some other Boston magnate pull one of those ownership swaps to get the Sabres into their hands. They've helped the Bruins to a solid run here.

CountDorkula Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 Sell the Sabres to offset the stadium overrun costs. Timing seems a little to convenient Quote
Warriorspikes51 Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 It was recently announced the Sabres are planning on making upgrades to their arena both food/vendor wise and the scoreboard. Quote
May Day 10 Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 The Sabres are at a sketchy point. Their lease is up in 2025, and that arena is now arguably the most putrid in the NHL. It needs a lot of investment/money. They announced a new scoreboard, sound, and a roof, but that scrapes the surface. 1 Quote

machine gun kelly Posted August 28, 2023 Posted August 28, 2023 I wouldn’t read too much into it. There could be a number of restructuring reasons why he made the change. I have no idea the P&L’s of the Sabres. He could be moving to divest or it could be nothing. Quote
