BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) - An article published in the upcoming edition of Western New York Hockey Magazine claims the Sabres are for sale.
Jim Kelley, the magazine's managing editor says owner Tom Golisano is once again actively looking to sell the team.

According to Kelley's sources a potential buyer is Canadian Billionaire Jim Balsillie.
The Balsillie group looked into purchasing the Sabres last season but walked away.

The magazine will be released on Thursday.
We'll continue to follow this story throughout the day on News 4 and on wivb.com.

Re: Sabres to be SOLD????

I did just read this

The Western New York Hockey magazine article adds that a deal could be struck where the Sabres play part of their home schedule at Hamilton's Copps Coliseum.

UN ****ING BELIEVABLE. We are getting raped. I am assuming "part" of the schedule will be more than 1 game..... Why would they want to play in that **** HOLE Copps Coliseum...

That would explain why he doesn't care that they suck.

At least Baiselle sounds like he would care...even if he played a couple games in Hamilton.

This has been known for over a year. He said he was listening to offers last year. It appears to be getting a bit more serious now.

He is minority owner so I doubt it unless he sells his share.

True! A couple games in Hamilton is fine. more than 3 or so I would be mad.

**** Golisano.

He just wanted a quick buck.
I'm not sure how hes not making money, the Sabres have their own clothing line out now and have another jersey on the market...

This is ****ed.

Re: Sabres to be SOLD????

He was never a hockey guy and let Quinn run all the hockey and you all see where that got us...He was there when the Sabres needed him most...good luck to him, Hockey is just not his thing...

I just don't understand how he could not enjoy all the excitement in Buffalo that the Sabres created back a couple of years ago. You would think he would want to recreate that instead of worrying about losing a couple of bucks.
