I do not know all who live here but I know Harry Neale, Scotty Bowman, John Muckler, and other have all decided to live in Buffalo, or the Buffalo area.
The City has great restaurants, great theatre, great road system, inexpensive homes, great hospitals, great architecture, great water front, great inexpensive live entertainment, and much more. Yes it is a small town, but it had a great past and IMO the future is looking really good. Especially for the Sabres. Get solid defensive LHD (to play with Ristolainen) and RHD (to play with Dahlin), a good GK coach, the team will be good next year.

If anyone is going to make 11 million a year, and have a choice of where to live in North America, it will never be buffalo

Methinks you need to go to Buffalo. It's been transformed over the last 10 years or so - IMO it's a much nicer place to live than Winnipeg, Detroit or Pittsburgh, for instance. I would say Buffalo would be at least an average destination.

How is Buffalo closer to being a playoff team? Since Jan. 1 they had the worst record in the league yes, worse than Ottawa.

There aren't many teams teams, especially current good teams that have cap space for Karlsson (although I think the current and future version of EK isn't going to worth the money he going to get).
So maybe Buffalo is an option for EK. Though as DD points out. does EK want to wait, for Sabres to get better.
Regarding Buffalo as city/play to live. Pretty good travel schedule compared to any Western Conference team. Buffalo the city itself is kinda small and "plain" but the suburbs....lots of green space and good communities. NFLers and NHLers who work/live, many have only good things to say about Buffalo.

Dominic Hasek didn't seem to have a problem getting in trouble in Buffalo.
Erik Karlsson isn't signing there...
