Why wouldnt anyone waive to come to Buffalo that has an owner that cares and an owner that isnt afraid to spend to the ceiling as is evident by the highest payroll in the league?
Dont sell Buffalo short.
Sekera/Stafford/Enroth take care of Iginla's 7mill cap hit.

I'm not trolling but it seems you guys had better teams when you were operating on a budget

easy, they want a chance to win the cup

its not like iggy going to buffalo is going to really help him financially, he has his contract, people in calgary love him, and im sure ownership treats him very well

if buffalo had a history of winning then maybe it would be different, but over the last 10years (or seasons) buffalo has only made the playoffs 1 more time than the leafs

Iginla would help in an area this team is lacking.

What does that even mean?
The team with the highest payroll in the league?
Sorry , I am not following.

- TerryPegs


having the highest payroll means nothing, if anything it means you have to overpay players to play for your team

calgary has a high payroll, they arent in a good position either

Different owner, different times.
The highest payroll in the league says that.
Last thing I will say on this item is that it would not shock me at all if the Sabres got Iginla or E.Kane.
Most Sabres fans live in the past and hate on the team because of it. The money being spent just needs to be spent in the right area.
Make no mistake, Pegula wants a Cup or Cup's.

Sabres don't need Iginla, they need to trade Vanek and commit to a full rebuild. Solidify their position at the very top of the draft, fire everyone.

I'm done aquiring players on the wrong end of their careers, even if it is Iginla who is a legend.

Evander Kane however

Honestly, at this point though I'd be worried about getting anyone on this team and having them be coached by Lindy. Stamkos would be a 15 goal scorer on the Sabres playing 3rd line minutes and the PK. Can't take time away from Hecht.

That's right, getting rid of our best player should do just the trick.

every owner wants to win the cup, every year.........

just because money is being spent doesnt mean its being spent wisely, why would iginla want to go to buffalo compared to a place like pitts, detroit, or anywhere that has shown that they can win?

the whole "pegula has money" thing is getting old and means nothing, players care about success on the rink when it comes to trades or in FA who pays them the most and if its close who gives them the best chance to win

something buffalo cant offer is a winning pedigree and it doesnt look too good this year either

I'm not being a homer but Philly is not a very good team. They might be in worse shape than Buffalo. Buffalo might be worse right now, but we have a ton of good young players that will be making an impact in the next 1-2 years

Sorry. I beg to differ.
The Flyers are no better off then the Sabres.
I think some of you Sabres fans hate just to hate.
