Oh and since none of us have any hockey business background , that means Mike Milbury is smarter then any HF poster. You said it yourself, people without a hockey background don't know anything compared to hockey "personnel". It's hilarious how much the lemmings love to attack anyone who dares to criticize Terry Pegula. NEWSFLASH, he is just another Dan Snyder, more $$$ then knowledge. Keep employing Regier and let Ted Black run your franchise, it's turning out great for us!! But it's fine since Pegula hand delivers season tickets and Ted Black hands out programs they're the best! Nevermind the on ice product has been the worst it's been since 02-03 when we were BANKRUPT.
If only there was someone who could have predicted and warned us ahout Pegula as an owner....
OH WAIT I DID! I called it nearly 4 years ago, well before Pegula has proven me right. April 2013.

The scary thing is I didn't even realize that Pegula was much much worse then originally thought. Outside of the penny pinching cheapskate owners Pegula is the next worst kind... the overly hands on power hungry buffoon.
My post is so prophetic. Exchange Regier for Doug Whaley and Ted Black for Russ Brandon and you would think this was posted yesterday.
F'ing A, you changed my mind. You're not an idiot, you're in fact a genius who can predict the future.
Put me in the camp that is still proud to have Pegula as an owner. So he botched a coach hire (one that was lauded nationally when it was made, for the record). Oh well. It happens. He's new to the business. He'll learn and adapt. I'll evaluate his worth as an owner over an appropriate (20 years?) time span, not 3.
I love it. So many other parts too (Me = Myers isn't that good, middle pairing D at best, everyone else here = Myers is a #1 what are you smoking and he's untouchable). Takeo you called Eichel a disappointment when we drafted him and also praised Barkevious Mingos acquisition so I don't even have to bother with anymore rebuttals oh not to mention your constant bashing of Lesean McCoy
He said been a sports owner for over half a decade. None of his teams made the playoffs aside from his first year as owner for half a season of Golisanos team. He has become a laughingstock owner.
Find a new agenda.
Remember when lafantaine left the Sabres organization? It's because pat wanted to do it the right way while pegula wanted to hire a GM that would allow pegula to play GM. Remember when regier was here? Pegula told him to sign ehrhoff because he had a great playoffs. Look where that got us. To top it off Kim pegula is as much our GM as the actual GMS themselves (Murray and whaley). Google Kim pegula and u will see she released a statement on finding a new coach. She claimed she wasn't gunna hand anythony Lynn the job. Shortly after that it was rumored that Lynn is removing himself from the organization. Talk about a mess.
Could you please explain your thought process and proof for your last few posts? I'm interested in hearing your pov.

I agree with him about pegula. Pegula said he wanted to win and not make money. Yet has anyone else realized he's making more money now then ever? Since he took over the Sabres his net worth has went up 1 BILLION dollars. Russ Brandon showed him how to profit huge of crap teams. His net worth went from 3.1 billion up to 4.1 billion. Basically jokes on whoever doesn't realize this and continues to buy merchandise and tickets to the franchises.
What makes you think that the increase in net worth was extracting money from fans and not just the natural increase of value of NFL and NHL franchises and his other businesses?
It's possible. But 1 billion seems like a lot don't ya think?
