I actually read it hoping he took a nutshot at TBN
Spoiler Warning: He didn't
I can already feel the indignation of the clowns over at TBN right now.
They'll be fired up because
1. An interview was given to someone that wasn't them
2. That Regier and Rolston aren't reading their articles. I'm guessing the spin will be that they represent the opinions of the fans, and thus they're willingly placing themselves out of touch or something equally stupid.

Harrington and Bucky are not going to be happy.
Whether Miller stays or goes, it's refreshing to have an owner that comes out publicly and states he wants his star players sticking around.
I wouldn't call Miller a star player anymore. He once was, but these days he's more like a former star.

"You can't set a timetable for contending for a Stanley Cup."
"Winning is not a goal, it is a belief," Pegula continued. When asked about the time frame to win a Stanley Cup, he later stated "It's a three-year or less process."

You can't? That's news to me.
As you know, "star" is a subjective term. It has different meanings to who you ask. I think league wide, more hockey fans think of Miller as a "star" than don't. Those that are fans of the Sabres would be the worst people to ask.

Neither Pegula nor the author used the word "star" when referring to Miller, so I'm not going to enter that argument. In any event, it sounds like Miller has thus far rebuffed their effort to get him re-signed. I sensed some (mild) frustration in the "Maybe you should ask Ryan that" quote.
Good, imo. If Vanek wants to re-sign here, get it done. There's little point in re-signing Miller at his age for the money and term he'll be looking for.
The only concern with not having Miller in the fold is how many times Vanek has stated in one form or another that he believes the Sabres always have a chance to win due to Miller. If Vanek's mind isn't made up already, I think Miller's departure would be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back. I don't see him being the only Rochester core member to stick around.
Pegula has learned alot since he became owner. He came is as a fan, fell in love with the players, coach, and GM he was rooting for.
He has grown up and realized what it takes to win a championship and that putting a time line on a rebuild is silly.
If I was him,I wouldn't interview with media thats only looking to for me to slip up.
They only want reasons to complain, reasons to bash him, or reasons to points out why he's not that great. Its not like TBN actually wants to interview him in a journalistic way.
Over/under on when the piece about it is out?
