Even thinking Pegula would consider relocating the Sabres is idiotic. (1) The sabres were always his main interest growing up, (2) wouldn't it be awkward owning the BUFFALO bills, who are locked into Buffalo now for decades, and the Hamilton Sabres? (3) NFL rules DO NOT ALLOW a NFL owner to own another professional team in a separate city that also has an NHL team, so the KC's of the world are not an option.

Next discussion.....move on

he can sell the team

his heart is not in the sabres, has not been since he bought the bills

It's like Will Ferrell getting sh!t out by the T-Rex fighting the Lizard men in "Land Of The Lost".
Like the Sabres are stuck in there own Land Of The Lost Hockey Playoffs.

Only reason why I think they won't move is his love of the Bills...

Imagine how he would get treated at his own stadium if the team got moved. I'm sure he's aware it would get hostile for quite a while.

Would signing better captains have been a better option though? Obviously they weren't the only UFAs with a track record of wearing letters. That's all I'm salty about, the better options weren't, seemingly, even explored.

this arena issue is puzzling

a makeover should help out for a few years and the county got all that covid money

He also “loses” money on it.

Owners are business people first and if he could make 5-7x his investment back, being hundreds of millions of dollars I think he absolutely would consider.

That's the problem with buying toys. Eventually, you get sick of them. The Bills were purely an investment, and he's treating it as such, which is probably the reason for their success.

He hasn't even been remotely close to the worst on the team in terms of +/-. In a shut-down, defensive, pk role.

Thats saying something if you ask me.

Tough to tell tbh. It's one of those intangible things, I'm not sure you can tell without being in the room. That's why I was more pointing at guys like Patches who have been in that position for years and should be considered good leaders.

The Sens just sold for $1 Billion for 90%

He isn't losing money on anything...paid $189 million could make an easy $800 million on a sale. The longer he waits, the more he will make on a sale.

The Bill's aren't purely an investment for pegula.

Of course he put himself in as president, he's vested as a fan too.

Would the GM coming out during the season saying the team gets bullied, be an indictment on leadership?

Would Cozens admitting they tightened up and played nervous in meaningful games be an indictment on leadership?

Would the leader having good defensive chart numbers, influence the rest of the team to buy into playing 200’ hockey?

Would leadership help bring in vets to build a competitive roster?(Okposo brought in E Johnson lol)

Those intangibles?

Or were you measuring intangibles like,

What music they play in the locker room?
