I get you have a personal relationship or whatever, but the “what don’t you people get” is rich. They’re absolutely clueless owners. And the results are the proof.

It’s also starting to become apparent they aren’t very good people either.

I hope they sell the Sabres

Just because people make up rumors about them is idiotic sure they have their downfalls but people have taken advantage of them for years they have listened to the fan base and it's brought us here ..

They only thing they haven’t done is a VP and they really don't need one they talk to countless nhl people about suggestions

THEY (frank)ING SUCK AND HAVEN'T MADE THE PLAYOFFS IN 9 YEARS.

WHAT DON'T YOU GET?

Are you cabin boy on the yacht or something?

They're rotten, disgusting, lying people and the proof was in the presentation to the Bills employees after they'd made the playoffs.

I own a business that's failing.

I ask my competitors how to fix it.

They give me some answers, but not all or necessarily the most honest answers.

Competitors keep having success while my business continues to flounder.

OR......FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, I can hire someone who knows what the hell they're doing, who's had success in the industry, to run my day to day.

But keep on blaming others, Gerbe.

They have listened to the nhl circles for 9 years so you want them to do the same ? They're doing things differently so they can be successful

"Those employed by Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres owners Kim and Terry Pegula were reportedly left with a bad taste in their mouths following video conference meetings held in January.

In the meetings, which were held shortly after the Bills reached the playoffs for the second time in three seasons, Kim told employees that budgets would be scrutinized and raises should not be expected aside from those who were contractually obligated to receive them, according to Tim Graham of The Athletic.

Graham included a copy of a slide that was part of Kim Pegula's presentation, which was entitled "Pegula Family Goals." The goals included win championships, sustainability, return on investment.

As part of the return on investment, Pegula stressed the importance of her family maintaining its lifestyle.

An anonymous Bills management source described the general feeling among the employees following Kim Pegula's declaration: "People were walking out of those meetings like they'd been punched in the gut. We just made the playoffs in the NFL, where it's impossible to lose money. We're firing on all cylinders. Now we have to pinch pennies? The morale after those meetings was lower than the day [longtime Bills owner] Ralph Wilson died."


But, hey, they all got entertainment systems.

What a joke.

Where does it say I want them to do the same?

HIRE SOMEONE WITH ACTUAL HOCKEY KNOWLEDGE TO OVERSEE YOUR DAY TO DAY, instead of listening to NHL or other team's employees who couldn't care less whether you succeed or not.

Is 'something new' a transfer of trust in hockey ops from the likes of TMGM and TMJB, who had years of experience and climbed up the ladder, to Ralph?

I tend to believe that their naivete when it came to owning sports franchises led to shysters taking advantage of them. This is not to absolve them of anything either

When we hired those GM and coaches they were listed as the number 1 candidates they brought the best in and it still failed ..
