NHL moving scounting combine to Buffalo

[Skooby]

I wonder if Pegula might be selling the team to help with the monies needed to buy the Bills & build a stadium ? There looks to be almost $2 Billion for both and it would make sense if Pegula sold all his interests to someone to coordinate a downtown effort ??


It's just a guess but go for your best theory as well.

The Buffalo Sabres sent out a terse e-mail this evening that they are planning a "press conference for a major announcement" Monday at 1 p.m. in the First Niagara Center pavilion but did not specify the subject.
The headliner at the press conference is Colin Campbell, senior executive VP of NHL Hockey Operations, and the Sabres and league are expected to jointly announce that the annual NHL Scouting Combine will be moved from suburban Toronto to HarborCenter starting next May.

In June, the Sabres formally put in a proposal (http://www.buffalonews.com/sports/sabres-nhl/harborcenter-hopes-to-land-nhl-scouting-combine-20140531)to host the Combine for the next three years. It's uncertain if the league is giving the event to the Sabres for the entirety of that bid.
The formal testing aspects of the Combine run for one day, usually the last Saturday in May. But more than 100 prospects and officials from every NHL team will be in the city for a few days prior to that doing interviews, so it's a potentially lucrative grab for the city's hotel and restaurant business.

So false alarm:

The headliner at the press conference is Colin Campbell, senior executive VP of NHL Hockey Operations, and the Sabres and league are expected to jointly announce that the annual NHL Scouting Combine will be moved from suburban Toronto to HarborCenter starting next May.

1) The team wouldn't call a press conference to announce that the team is for sale
2) Really?
