Absolute joke.
The Pegula's are trying to recoup as much money back on their Bills investment as they can through the Sabres, the writing is all over the wall.
Think about it - our organizational staffing from top to bottom is a joke. We hire new GMs (Murray & Botts) with no Pres. of Hockey Ops to help guide them (other than LaFontaine for a hot minute - that ended well)
We have a non-existent analytics department while other successful organizations are rapidly expanding theirs.
And then it's the little things - the cheap fan giveaways and gimmicks during games, the outdated arena that desperately needs a new makeover in every way.
Then the 50th anniversary season, this season - which is supposed to be a celebration of the franchise - has been laughable and the Sabres have managed to mess it up in every possible way that they can. Not wearing the goat head jerseys on 90s night because they didn't submit them to Adidas before the deadline.. are you kidding me?!? All of it screams incompetency, starting from the very top.
Look at every building the Pegulas have built or taken over around the arena - they all have new, completely random sponsors (what does LECOM HarborCenter even mean??)
I never wanted to believe it, but here's the truth - it's all about the $$$$$$$. The Bills make lots of it, the Sabres don't. So the Sabres get left in the dust
