ESPN sports center is talking about Cary Price and literally ALL the highlights were of Patrick Roy in an Avalanche jersey.

I think they are hurting for cash. Not saying they are poor. But all their money seems to be invested

They sold their company for almost 3Billion dollars. That means they owned a pretty good company, so they likely weren't making 150K a year prior to that. They are plenty ok.

1 Billion equals 999Million plus 1Million. Thats Wealth with a capital W

So with the Rangers and Wild in preliminary talks with the Sabres, obviously I would think that includes some of his medical stuff. Wonder if things get leaked.

Thought it was 2.7 (his share), but even more makes him even less worried about dough

Yeah the one was 4.7 billion and the other company in West Virginia he sold a share of it for 1.7 billion. I believe that's the money he used to buy the Bill's. But your right he's got some money.

I think they took a beating in their hospitality holdings over the past year due to COVID, but overall they're fine.

I don't know how much better Sabres know him than other NHL teams. He spent time with the BlackHawks and has been a hockey lifer. A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week. Time is the only thing standing in the way of losing him.
- Hatboro_Swords


I like Donnie, but his name hasnt come up anywhere in regards to a nhl head coaching job.

Our standards as Sabres fans is ridiculously low.

He went 9-19 and you're worried about him being snagged right in front of our eyes.

He's been with the Sabres since 2019 and they probably know him well. Well enough to give him a shot at head coach...

There could be a better coach available.

He did. No doubt.

Without Eichel. And he was missing a legit NHL goalie.

Those are his assets, including the Bills and Sabres. Not saying he's hurting, at all, but he doesn't have $5.4B in cash laying around.

I don't have doubts that they'll "address" the goaltending. It remains to be seen what type of team will be out in front of said goalie(s).

If we're going young, I expect many mistakes. But maybe youthful exuberance makes up for a few of those?

I'm just hoping for a new "core" that I can get excited for the future about again.

I’d prefer they just assume Richardson will be staying with Montreal like Brind Amour stayed with the Canes and the Chief stayed with the Blues. Let Donnie get his coaches and hopefully that includes Girardi. Start operating like time is of the essence before it is.
