Nobody said the sabres hyped it, just that this announcement was made up to possibly be something major with that "significant" tag with it, and I'm sorry, but I don't see the Prospect Game as something that warrants that tag. Is it nice to have, yeah, is it something fun, sure, but I would not deem it as significant.
The game in 2012 was attended by 5500 fans, that's sure not a significant number.
With all the possible build up of this announcement being something like a USHL team, the U18s tourney, or the USNTDP moving to Buffalo (which I thought was highly unlikely from the start), the announcement of the PG is a little underwhelming.
So yeah, sorry if some of us deem this as not being worthy of a "significant announcement" tag. Like I said, it's nice, it's fun, and it is noteworthy, but no where near significant in my mind.
