The BN says 15 people were canned, so I'd say dissolved

"A source told the News that 15 employees of PSE were laid off Monday morning. That group included several high-ranking executives."

There's 13 years of evidence in front of you on how Terry Pegula handles sports organizations.

You tell me what the answer is.

"Yes." The answer is "yes."

Well, if there wasn't pressure to 'win now' for the Sabres, it's there now.

Why would that change now that he's named president. He was already owner, a far more powerful and historically meddlesome position

Bills $ + Sabres $ + others = PSE

He's very controlling and nervous.

This is where the rabbit hole begins. Actually it's about 10' down. Kim Pegula was the start.

Massive stadium overages so far
Sabres need new arena, state already said not paying for it.

Seems a little too convenient.

Is it a way of advertising the “work” the team needs without advertising them for sale?

I’m selling this car but it needs breaks, a timing belt and has a coolant leak”

I think Kim isn’t around to run things. Terry is downsizing (divesting) to focus on the cash cow (bills) and can cover stadium overages by selling the Sabres. The value he got in vs what he can get out should cover most of the overage expenses.

Overages are material and union rates. Name of the game.

Not sure if there's a correlation for the arena but I doubt it. They've been planning that stuff for several years.

State funding for the arena. So he can show how much the Sabres are losing each year.


As for 89 saying he’s nervous and controlling. What billionaire isn’t? He also got screwed over by multiple executives at PSE / they did shady stuff.

I completely understand the trust issues

Terry is on the hook and responsible for about 4-600 million in overages when all is said and done with the Bills stadium.

Pegulas seem to lack the "good hire" instincts, with the Sabres anyways.

Yeah he did it to himself because he's incapable of hiring competent & trustworthy people.

Ol' Ron was the latest (frank)around. His VP turnover rate is high. Because he can't hire good people. He trusts no one because of his inabilities. Now that his wife is gone from the company? Who else can he trust? No one, because he's got the managerial expertise of a cat.

It's for tax and audit reasons. Pegula is already owner, he doesn't need to restructure the organization to have a bigger say, he can just do it if he wants lol.
- Michael Ghofrani


Fair enough. Not trying to express any knowledge, just fear of the unknown perhaps on my end.

Feedback vast on #Sabres arena story. Top areas remain seats and...nachos? (cheese change and lack of jalapenos a repeated theme). On seats: It's a massive, full-arena process to replace them all. As part of major reno, it's a couple years off still (1/2)

I mean he’s a billionaire …… somewhere along the line he trusted someone and hired good people. You don’t luck into 5-6 billion (I forgot his exact amount)

Yeah, behind the scenes as well.

They must miss some bad character traits when hiring thru out the organization.

I prefer jalapenos less nachos ....
