I know I've said this before. It bears repeating.
For Larry Quinn to do this, there is only one reason.
Larry Quinn wants to rid the Sabres organization of everything Doug Moss. Remember, Quinn lost the original power struggle to Moss. Then Moss was booted by the Rigas family. Quinn got the ear of Gollisano, and came back into a position of power within the Sabres Organization. Now, he has carte blanche to do whatever he wants, to erase every stamp Moss put on the organization. The red and black uni's were developed under Moss' direction. Quinn could not handle that.
IMHO, Quinn should stick to building buildings, and not run hockey teams.
