so, check it. i was farting around on wikipedia, and somehow i ran across this: In December, Pegula officially expressed interest in buying the Sabres for $170 million and submitted a letter of intent to the NHL. In January, Golisano reportedly issued a counteroffer with an asking price of US$175 million.[16] An agreement between Pegula and Golisano to sell the team was reached on January 29, 2011 with Pegula buying the team for $189 million ($175 million with $14 million in debt included)[17][18] with the Sabres and Golisano officially making an announcement in a press conference on February 3, 2011.[19] League owners approved the sale on February 18.[20] In the conference, it was revealed that an unnamed bidder submitted a much higher bid than Pegula's, but made the bid contingent upon moving the team.[21] The description is consistent with that of Jim Balsillie, who has made public his efforts to move a team to Hamilton, Ontario, a move that the Sabres have actively opposed. i never ever heard this. i was shocked when i read that, then became unshocked when i saw balsallie. im sure this has been discussed before here, and some of you already knew this. why hadnt i seen this? |

Kinda OFN, but it was discussed around the time of the sale. Nobody KNOWS it was Jimmy boy, but odds are pretty good that's who it was. It was one of my points for not totally hating BTG. |

This team will never leave Buffalo. They are here to stay. Balsille will probably have better luck with the PHX Coyotes. |

BTG said as much in his last press conference. He had a much higher offer but wouldn't move the team. |

Right. ya i'm just stating he'd have a better chance at moving the yotes than buffalo. theyd lose quite a fan base if they move buffalo. |

I doubt this guy will ever get a team, with how many times he has tried and failed. |

Doubt he gets a team. The only way he gets one is if he decides to forget about Hamilton. Like maybe picking up Phoenix and moving them to Quebec City. |

Balsillie will never own an NHL franchise. He's proven, 3 times now, that he won't play by the rules to acquire one. |

I'm sure he does too but not the kind he had when he was trying to acquire teams. Sportsnet was talking bout him last week on hockeycentral. |
