Hey Terry, Do Us A Favor and SELL

[Jim Bob]

No GM candidate worth a damn is going to apply to a team whose owner requires a daily farking update about everything that the GM is supposed to be in charge of. It's like working under a baby sitter...a baby sitter that doesn't know how to change a diaper. Team is farked until the daughter takes over.

It wouldn't be the first pro sports franchise that is hamstrung by one owner and flourishes after it moves on to their kids, or is sold, after the owner passes away.

The Chicago Blackhawks before and after the passing of Dollar Bill Wirtz is one of the best examples of it.

Well, this guarantees I'll be in the building Friday night. Little things don't really matter until we start winning, but I'll take this and enjoy it.

Great news. I might watch!

I agree but it’s tough to compare us to Chicago’s situation. They had a cheap owner operating the franchise like it was in one of the smallest markets. Once he passed and his kid took over, they spent like the huge NHL market they are. Thats an enormous influx of money being spent that could have been used all along.

The Sabres are a small market team with limit revenue in comparison. It’s something our previous owner dealt with by being a budget team, cash to the cap, etc. That issue will exist no matter who owns the Sabres. But a more competent hand on the wheel would certainly go a long way towards getting out of our current mess. The previous owners certainly weren’t that.
