If it got rid of Quinn I imagine Sabres fans would be all for it. Golisano IMO has been a bit of a disappointment as an owner, though he should be given credit for taking over a franchise in financial shambles and proving the market and organization t be more than lucrative right where it is.

Reportedly Pegula has signed the letter of intent to purchase the team.

Too bad they couldn't steer him toward Phoenix.

Apparently this guy is the sole reason Penn State is going to have a hockey program next year--he's got money to burn.

When I heard the story on the news I thought the same thing about Quinn. I can't stand him. I agree about Golisano too. It's mainly because he's not hands on 'cause he knows nothing about hockey so he leaves everything to Quinn.

All but confirmed in a fancy press conference that Pegula is the new owner of the Sabres.

Honestly I don't see any problem in keeping Regier and Ruff. It's Golisano and Quinn who, to me, are the problem.

At least Golisano finally got the uniforms right, if not the team. Still, the Buffaslug will be his lasting legacy.

Apparently some "mystery" person offered 70 Million more for the team with their cooperation to try and move it.

No idea who that would of been... iiam:
