mellaman101 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I dont know how the insides work and everything. I figure the owner briefs the Pres and GM on what they want to spend and stuff but do you think taking on the Bills and Sabres is a lot for one person? The Bills are up and coming but have a lot of stress when it comes to the demands of a new stadium, how to generate more revenue, and the demand the fans on this team winning finally. The Sabres may just be the front runners to land McDavid. Hell, if the Islanders stink up the joint, we may land the 1st and 2nd pick. Also we have the Blues first rounder also. On top of all that drama, you got a ton of talent that will be traded off to playoff contender teams with some of those guys they got (Gionta, Moulson) It will be mania up in Buffalo if they land McDavid. OMG I cant even think of getting a ticket or how much the cost will be to land one if we get this kid. I think thats a lot on anyones plate but I guess becoming a Billionaire you know how to handle things... Go Bills and Sabres and have a safe week everyone! Off to the Veterans hospital for me!

Luxy312 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Guys like Pegula delegate a TON. This will have no bearing on what he can "handle". Would anyone seriously think that adding another billion dollar land deal would make a difference to him? Why would adding ownership of the team. Same difference. He has guys to deal with the small (but important) stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 did anyone at the NFL check to see if it's ok for Pegula to own 2 different teams in the same city? they probably should have looked into that before they voted. oh well, too late now!!!

Peter Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Now that we have established that the Pegulas can own both the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres, maybe someone can check whether the Sabres can trade one of their three first round draft choices to the Bills.

YoloinOhio Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 That's what Russ Brandon is for. He's already been running the team so I'm sure there will be some changes but I expect Kim and Terry would continue to utilize him in a similar role.

papazoid Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) NFL adapts to crossover ownership Although "not optimal", league accommodates Owners with MLB, National Basketball Association or National Hockey League teams based in the same market as their NFL franchise would only be competing against themselves, yet the NFL would prefer that this not be the case, either, even if it has no rules against it. http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/bills-nfl/nfl-adapts-to-crossover-ownership-20141008 Edited October 9, 2014 by papazoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homey D. Clown Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Can he even own both teams? Yes he can, and outright, as long as both teams are within the same sports market. What is not allowed is owning major league sports teams in competing markets. so Terry could own the Vancouver Canuks and the Bills, but not, say, the Detroit Red Wings and the Bills, because of the NFL presence in the Detroit market. There's a good article on the details of this somewhere on the interwebz, I don't remember where I read it in detail, wish I had saved the link.

BadDad Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Professional owners are EXTREMELY hands off (even the most hands on people). They hire good people and delegate. If I am not mistaken Wayne Huizenga Owned The Dolphins, The Marlins, and The Panthers all at the same time. If not he definately owned at least two of them at the same time and ultimately owned all three. As a matter of fact the only Miami team he did not own is the Heat.

thewildrabbit Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 When you have billions you can hire the right people to do everything for you, all you need do is sit back and enjoy yourself. I'm kinda hoping that Pegula will hire someone like Bill Polian to run the football side of things, so he builds a team with no holes. Then that guy finds us that elite Franchise QB, like an Andrew Luck - Peyton Manning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
