didn't he pretty much say he would move the team?

What era was this?

Hannu Virta was patrolling the blue line for a few of those years.

Oh I see what you mean. While valid in the sense that the other three have a much larger 'minority' base, it's still possible to market your game across those lines. They just haven't. Because they're bush.

when is the last time you saw an NHL commercial, or a commercial with an NHL star in it.

Would the Sabres be better off with the hamster or the pegs….

Loved going to Stallions games.

Carlos Salguero was my favorite player. 101 goals in 114 games. Just ridiculous.

you're seeing the irony in the response

Well, that sucks … so the team would have been up for sale then. But could still have had a better run under the hamster….

I don't think he has the resources to buy a team anymore, at least not at the current market value. Forbes has the value of the Sabres around $500 million.

As long as they don’t move the team, I just want to see competent ownership….

What is funny is Hammister wanted the county to upgrade certain things at the arena, the same things the Pegulas are wanting upgraded and when the county said no, he pulled out

I'd think a family with money like that might want controlling interest in the team, yes? May not be them.

Someone brought them up last year, I think.

Yeah. That’s where I am remembering it from…. It will be interesting to see if anything happens. There have been some rumors out there.
