Lucky hire of the HC that lead them to Beane, lucked into Allen being as good as he is.
Everything they have done with the Sabres has been the wrong move almost without fail. It is amazing really.

He is going to allow adams to make more terrible trades and set the franchise back even further. It needs to stop

McDermott is the perfect personality to deal with pegula, respect him, but also get his way. I think he is a good coach, high floor. Josh Allen though drives this thing and was a lucky pick (i consider hitting on a qb largely luck)
Building an nhl program is much harder and more involved than an nfl team. In the nfl, a coach is the ceo. Drives everything and can turn a roster in 2 years. The thing is very dependent on hitting on a quarterback.
Nhl, coaches are the most disposable element in your org. You need a lot of drafting and developing. You are looking at teens across the globe playing in different leagues, different levels and trying to predict how they will be as adults. Then training them for years. The cap is also unforgiving.
Putting together a hockey team is way more intricate than a football team.
Pegula seems to just wing it and these results are not that shocking

There's a very long winded answer that I can give but what it boils down to is:
They lucked into McDermott/Beane. Josh was the result of very good scouting and development.
Agreed but Pegula also seemingly gives them all of the resources they need, while the sabres have to penny pinch
It would take a true moron to not make money with an NFL team. They basically print cash.
