Cool. As I read it will be called Buffalo Marriott... (I think that is better than "__________" by Marriott)

this now makes 7 hotels in the city if this doesn't get the Sabres a draft or an All Star Game or another Winter Classic soon then there's gotta be something wrong!

The earliest Buffalo could get the NHL draft is 2015...the ASG can't be given until 2015 as well, since the Sochi Winter Olympics next year cancels it out...and who knows when the Winter Classic will come back?
