I’d buy the common sense of lightening personal costs more than I buy local media being on the ball lol
If I even had a remote interest in buying a yacht, I think I would want It made there.I understand the NDL requires interested parties to wire a non-refundable deposit to demonstrate serious interest to a yacht building company in the Netherlands.
Trump isn't the right guy, this business is already run into the ground.Trump/Bon Jovi make amends and buy the Sabres, together, as co owners

They are probably looking for their Tim Leiweke. The guy that set up the Leafs for success. A deal maker with the right connections to lure some quality hockey people in to help run things.
Right, because the Pegula ownership base is so strong.Don’t sell. Get competent help to assist with running things
Another possibility behind these rumors is the additional lines of credit access the NHL recently secured may have stipulations regarding outside interest ownership if borrowing exceeds some dollar amount or percentage of franchise value. Not clear to me what the sources of those lines of credit are. Example: If I'm a deep-pockets owner like MLSE / Comcast / Jacobs / Dolan who is contributing (perhaps along with Scotia, MassMutual, etc.) to some mutually pooled line of credit, I may very well ask for a minority interest until that credit is repaid. Or at least to have a say in certain fiscal operating decisions. Totally speculating, but I could see where such arrangements, if leaked, may be construed as a sale, partial sale, potential sale, etc. As the saying goes, "God seems to have naturally limited the maximum possible IQ within mankind. However, there's apparently no limit on the other end."

Every Bills fan is gonna dunk on you, the Pegulas are more than just the Sabres.Right, because the Pegula ownership base is so strong.
This dude is a poison and we would have all been better off if he had never showed up in WNY.
I think the support for Pegula simply comes from a fear of the team moving, and the realization that Pegula would likely never do that.
I refuse to live in that world of fear. Get a real owner in here and if the future takes the team away from WNY, so be it.
WNY doesn't really have any business with major league sports teams in the 21st century anyway. You can't be in constant confrontation with inevitability.
Let it play out as it will...but run the team professionally and on a major league level, please.
Agreed. The Pegulas built the Harbor Center and revived Buffalo's economy. That's the thing about them I appreciate the most.
If you don't like Football, fine, don't watch. But the majority of us are happy the Bills are playing here instead of Toronto. They may have gotten lucky in hiring Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott. But whatever. The last year was the most fun I've had watching a Major Buffalo team since Briere and Drury were Sabres in the mid 2000s.
I do like the idea of the Pegulas as owners. They are likeable and have Deep pockets, and an apparent commitment to Buffalo.
Its just so frustrating that they won't get out of the way for the Sabres and keep making mistakes.

If you mean they should sell the Sabres, I agree, let them focus solely on the Bills or if they keep the team, get the F out of the way of it.
Not sure what you mean about making sense?The Harbor Center is good for Buffalo's economy. What doesn't make sense?

Yep.
Lease expires in 2025.
Fans will stop buying tickets.
Things are going to get ugly. You gotta figure a sale is coming rather it be a full sale or a partial sale.
Best case scenario IMO is Pegula Ownership without meddling like what we see with the Bills. Rather that be a President of Hockey Ops or a partial sale like what Larry Quinn was to Tom Golisano
Next best case scenario is Jeremy Jacobs selling the Bruins and buying the Sabres. He's the 5th richest NHL Owner, has ties to Buffalo, and has a track record of winning.
After that is a crap shoot. How much money is an owner willing to spend? Will they meddle? Etc.....
I’m actually glad to hear this and hope it really is true (I assume it is).Pegula Sports executive: Buffalo Sabres are not for sale
"No. None of them are for sale," said Ron Raccuia, PSE's executive vice president. "None of them are for sale, none will be. There's no plans at all for that."buffalonews.com
