He sees 10 million dollars, that's how he sees it.

Even guys that make a lot of $$$ want to win

That response seems ridiculous to me

That dumb turnover by Risto was because of the rest of his team

I heard Pegula stand up at his presser and say the Buffalo Sabres existence is to win the Stanley cup, or something to that effect. I didn't hear anything about building downtown or the waterfront.

Im not saying he doesn't want to win, im saying it'll be easier on him now that he'll be making 10 mil. There's nothing ridiculous about that.

Im sure management has told him this is their best bet. If he in fact did say he thought kane and lehner were the problem, he'll probably be more receptive to rebuild than you realize.

You honestly think Kane's return was predicated on your misguided view of the owner? Pegula has brought tons of world-class hockey events to Buffalo in the past 7 years. You've created non-existent, negative narratives based on blind hatred and a bad few years

It's not nonsense, this team is no better and the organization is no better with him as the owner. It's great what he doing for the city and the Bills but the Sabres are still as bad as when he bought them, just with Jack Eichel and that's a shame.

To add to this Kane rhetoric:

Tell us what you really think, tovarich.

That's quite a "manifesto" you've got there.

Would you say Pegula has created a "toxic environment"?

I bet that Beady guy would really agree with that.

people think that will magically make buffalo not an economically depressed wasteland and that all of a sudden white collar jobs are gonna start popping up because tech jobs are the future

without realizing that no one wants to live in buffalo because of it's climate and people and reputation

buffalo died, some of us dealt with it and loved it for what it was

we dont need tech jobs, we need manufacturing

and even then, look at how tesla has worked out for us so far, 5 years after it was promised to bring "over 5,000 jobs"

He's failed at bringing a cup, but it's not for a lack of resources or commitment. He's put Buffalo on the map with the combine, WJC, nice hotel for out-of-town players, world-class training facilities. He's inexperienced, but committed. His hires have been dubious, but he's tried o bring in experienced names (Babcock, Disco), and perceived rising Stars (Murray)

You mean #8, there is no #9.



Also, the way people talk you'd think Risto was the runaway worst. Yet, he's not even on the front page. Hmm...

I haven't heard anyone say they don't want to live here, I would move back if I could get my wife to go. Yes it is "tech" now and I remember when it was manufacturing.

He can't hide his true personality. It's him. If it's not where is Beady? Too coincidental.

4 coaches, 3 GM's and still nothing, something is wrong but everything else he's doing is great. Get someone in here to handle things for him so he can step back.

U keep missing my point
All that could very well be true

Losing gets frustrating
It drains on you

Is he really gonna go home after another stretch next year where we lose 8 of 10 and then just shrug his shoulders bc he’s making 10mil?

I’m pretty sure he’ll still be upset

He might look back on it years from now when we are winning and say it was worth it

But i get over the next couple years he will still be pretty p!ssed

How much of an effect will it have on him is a question worth asking imo
And not so easily dismissed as you’re making it seem
