<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>wondershrimp</b></div><div>I understand that they've done a lot for the city, but that has no bearing on whether they have run the team well since purchasing it, which they haven't. How can YOU say this is not their fault? They hired Botterill, just as they hired Murray before him. Both have done crappy jobs. Look at Tom Dundon, the owner of the Canes who purchased them in 2017. Two years later and they're a cup contender. Nine years Pegula has owned the team and they have been complete dog**** the whole time.</div></div>

Dundon inherited a good team. Pegula inherited a team on the verge of a rebuild. Ive been sold on how bad GMTM was and his deals put us back a lot of years. So yes they hired one wrong guy, but i wouldnt write them off because of it. They werent even the main decision makers in that time, Lafontaine and Ted Black were the 2 that push Murray at Pegula. Then you look at the Bills (who i personally dont like) and theyre not as much of a joke and even made the playoffs. For now GMTM is to blame for this mess, the Sabres right now are where the experts expected them to be. Botterill does need to do something with this locker room with the assests he has available, i think there is enough data to see what this team needs going forward
