LabattBlue Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) A few things for those who don't follow the Sabres and Pegula's ownership of them... - I've always suspected(but have no proof) that the Bills are always near the bottom of the league when it came to coaching staff spending. That will change under Pegula. - The same goes for front office staff including scouts. The Sabres scouting staff has grown by leaps and bounds since Pegula took over. - If you've never heard him speak publicly, prepare yourself. Just because he is a billionaire doesn't make him a polished speaker. He is just the opposite. - Bottom line, the guy is not afraid to spend money even if it means the team loses money. He wants to win...multiple championships! Edited September 10, 2014 by LabattBlue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I learned today from one of the News articles, that the Sabres now stay at the first class hotels in the cities of their away games where they used to stay in decent hotels. Some may think pampering, some may think unnecessary, others may think a little extra draw for free agents and a nice touch toward the players to make them know they are part of a first class operation.

That's three times Buffalo won out over Toronto, First Josh Gorges refuses to be traded to the Maple Leafs and goes to the Sabres instead, then Buffalo takes away the NHL Combine for the next two years.

stevewin Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 @JohnKryk My in-depth report on end of #Bills sale, w/ 3 likeliest reasons Pegulas bid $1.4B + #BonJovi/Tor group post-mortem: http://www.torontosu...s-dead … This is a really interesting read. Talks about the trust's leverage of the Toronto group, which was discussed at length here The trust’s mission surely was to keep The Great Toronto Threat alive, if only to help to drive up Pegula’s price, had no other bidders emerged. This was not lost on the Toronto group principals. They knew, too, that for some local and state politicians and other principals involved in the sale, one cannot be regarded by the masses as a saviour if there’s nothing to save. And the apathy of those in Toronto to even geting the team Locals would have been devastated had their 55-year-old symbol of cultural unity been relocated to Toronto, a 90-minute’s drive away. You cannot blame them for nervously over-analyzing every miniscule development in the sale process, as so many did. Torontonians, by contrast, generally could not have cared less about the possibility of gaining an NFL team, even in recent weeks as the process ramped up. It was as surprising as it was disappointing, frankly, and casts legitimate questions moving forward as to whether Toronto can be regarded as a legit football city anymore, especially in light of the paltry crowds the CFL’s Argos now get. Fact is, outside of a few Bon Jovi headlines, the Bills-sale story seldom punctured even mainstream sports coverage in Ontario, whereas in Buffalo the story topped TV and radio newscasts for months. Some interesting lines on the intentions of the Toronto group For more than a year, until some time in June, Bon Jovi and his only initial partner, Tanenbaum, had been operating under the plan to relocate the Bills to Toronto at first opportunity. But by the end of June, they flipped course and began getting word out that they intended to keep the Bills in Buffalo ... In the end, the Toronto bid group’s intentions along non-relocation lines were not “clean” from a sale standpoint, said a source close to negotiations. ... Plenty of proof existed to prove the Toronto-group principals might not be sincere in their summertime spinarama. For instance, last November, four months before Wilson died, MLSE CEO/president Tim Leiweke spoke on the record to the Toronto Star about his close friendship with Bon Jovi and their joint NFL goal. “We talk weekly about his NFL ambitions,” Leiweke told the Star. “And so we’re actively engaged, but I think it’s still a work in progress.” This Star story also said the group’s plan would be to relocate the Bills to Toronto after Wilson’s death, and even anointed that group as the “leading contender” to buy the Bills. Sources say members of the Wilson family at the time were as incredulous as they were indignant over the arrogance and timing of those public pronouncements, when their patriarch was known to be in frail health. ... Meantime, a stadium designer hired last year by Tanenbaum and Bon Jovi told QMI Agency in July that the duo entertained approaches into this year by Toronto-area land owners hoping to accommodate their new stadium, for which he’d drawn up plans. One of the worst-kept secrets in Toronto has been that the Bon Jovi/Tanenbaum duo into this year had been eyeing stadium sites that included port lands, Downsview Airport and vacant property adjacent to Woodbine Racetrack in the northwest corner of Toronto proper, in Etobicoke. Yet other bits of evidence about the Toronto group’s relocation intentions concerned the seller and transaction team. All told, these obstacles would prove “too big to overcome” for the trust, an informed source said. Said a source: “There was too much smoke for there not to be fire" Interestingly it also says that regardless, the Toronto bid would not have been supportedby the NFL it is inconceivable 24 of 31 other NFL owners would have approved an ownership group whose presence would have created such a dangerous, unhealthy franchise existence -- lame-duck hell -- for either five or, more likely, eight years. On the weekend, sources confirmed that the NFL indeed had absolutely no intention of letting that ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is that we are lucky to have them as owners of the Bills and Sabres. Some like to point to where the Sabres are now re won/lost record. That misses the point. They are intentionally doing a rebuild rather than a patch job. Not many owners would have the financial patience to do what they are doing. The end result will be a very, very good young team that should challenge for several years. I could not be more pleased with the way that this has worked out with both the Bills and Sabres.

Peter Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Pegula got kicked around pretty bad for retaining Ruff and Regier for so/too long Especially by both Bucky and Sully. The day before the Pegulas took over the Sabres, Sully wrote an article stating that the first thing they should do is fire Darcy. Bucky always had it in for Darcy since the time that Darcy took over and wanted to give Nolan a one year contract to see how they would work together. That approach clearly made sense given what had just happened with Nolan, Muckler, and Hasek. It was curious that Bucky never criticized Tim Murray for essentially doing the same thing when he was hired (he waited to decide whether to extend Nolan's contract). Bucky now really has it in for the Pegulas and especially Kim Pegula because of LaFontaine. It is odd that, in none of Bucky's articles as I recall, does he ever mention how FAST PLF wore out his welcome with the Islanders. As for me, I would not have fired Darcy or Lindy upon taking over. It initially worked out in any event given the Sabres went on a run and made the playoffs. It is probably good for both Darcy and the Sabres that Darcy is gone. He was a lightning rod. He did make some good trades though and left us with a wonderful parting present - the Vanek trade. Having said that, I am pretty happy with Tim Murray. I think he is and will do a good job. Re Lindy, I always liked him. He became a Buffalonian. I probably would have kept him. I certainly would not have fired him before Darcy. I also think that he is a much better coach than Nolan. We shall see with him. Edited September 10, 2014 by Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it pretty offputting. Bucky has done that a few times now. He really should be embarrassed about his attack on Kim Pegula. Everyone whom I know who knows her raves about her. In fact, everyone whom I know who knows Terry says the same thing. They are class owners and treat people fairly and are loyal. Given the Pegulas long history of loyalty to the people around them (including to Darcy when the easiest thing to have done would have been to fire him from the start), one wonders about PLF -- especially given his SHORT history in management with the Islanders. Paul Hamilton stated way back when this all went down with PLF that PLF is a very different person when the cameras are not on. Bucky presumably has a relationship with PLF and will criticize the Pegulas every chance he gets given the ax that he, PLF, and Sully have to grind. When reading an article or column on TBN, one should remember to check who wrote it. Bucky, Sully, and (for that matter) Harrington have been overly critical of the Pegulas. Take whatever they write for TBN or on Twitter (and dare I say here and on the other site anonymously) for what it is worth and a truckload of sand. The good news: I have noticed that over the past year or two, people have caught on to Bucky, Sully, and Harrington. Plus, with the Pegulas ensuring that the Bills will stay in Buffalo for the first time in my adult life, Bucky, Sully, and Harrington are further marginalized.

TXBILLSFAN Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) It's crazy to criticize Pegula now as owner of the Sabres. He has a clear plan and is executing it almost flawlessly. My only issue with him as owner was that he waited 6 months to long to fire Darcy. As much as I wanted Darcy gone immediately, Pegula did the prudent thing and waited and provide him with unlimited resources to see if that would produce a winner. When it didn't, he should have pulled the trigger sooner. In the end, it worked to the Sabres advantage as Darcy pulled off a miracle trade with the Isles for Vanek !! The other criticism he gets, which is deserved, is that he is not a great communicator, but again, that's not a big issue. I think he's learned lessons from his experiences as Sabres owner and will apply a lot of those with the Bills. Bottom line, I can't think of a better owner for this team.

Why roll the dice on unprovens? NFL teams dont need to take a decade to build. Seattle and San Francisco installed culture changing figures and were up and running within 1 or 2 years (and Seattle completely whiffed on the LB from Wake Forest forget his name). Denver too I recall picking ahead of us and got into gear swiftly (and they whiffed on Tebow). Teams go from top 5 in the draft to playoff teams left and right and the Bills sit there always with excuses and scapegoats. We will see what happens with this season though. I still see a 6-10 season staring at us. They would be crazy not to install a new structure if thats the case again.

bbb Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 My guess is Littman does not even want to stay and will only be around for a short transition.
