Maybe if things go well he helps bring MLB to Raleigh.

 

[Unsustainable]

He saved the Pens from relocating twice also.

best day ever

That'd be more difficult, nay nearly impossible, for a surfeit of reasons, I feel. There's no shame in this being a Triple-A and High-A market.

Hey guys,

I don't know **** all about the business aspect of the NHL, but reading some things it looks like this is nothing but great news for you. Very happy for all of the fans of the team. As a Sabres fan I used to have a great hatred of your franchise, but the past ten years that each team has gone through has softened that immensely.

And then this past year, in an effort to explain why our coach's system was so bad, I did some extensive analysis on the H-Canes, comparing the possession stats and transition plays of a team that many Sabres fans believe has less forward talent than we do, to what we did, to show that it was Bylsma actively hindering our team and not the inability of our players to play possession hockey. In doing this project, I fell in love with a lot of the players on Carolina, and the style of hockey Peters has your team playing in general. You guys are going to be a force for years to come the way you're building. And now you can relax knowing that you'll get to watch it develop right where it should be.

Here's to many future playoff series between the teams (and sorry for any damages Sabres fans may cause throughout the course of them - I don't know why they pick your city to be maniacs when they're so quiet and reserved here at home).

Thanks for the kind words, Randall.

Indeed, a very kind post.

As two teams who seem on the upswing, I'd rather be hating you guys at the top with both of us exactly where we are thanks

If he just signed a letter of intent, nothing official is going to come out soon.

 

[Anton Dubinchuk]

I posted this in the other thread before this one was started, but man does approving "not cheap" options for Francis if it makes the team better look hilarious now.

 

[2 12 oz Drinks]

Don't want to plan anything till this is official so as not to jinx it, but you better believe there will be a celebration that involves rubbing it in a certain area's face

I guess i picked the wrong week...

 

[Joe McGrath]

Aaron Ward @NHL_AaronWard

Can confirm report @NHLCanes have signed letter of intent to purchase and that it's been in the works for a while BUT it's not closed #TSN

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Not sure how this week could get any better but I am welcoming karma to try!

 

[Blueline Bomber]

Please, please close the deal.

 

[AD Skinner]

I just wanted to let you know, good luck, we're all counting on you

 

[garnetpalmetto]

Somebody want to do the needful and photoshop him holding a Canes hat?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

If ever there was a time to start buying lottery tickets, now is the time.
