Mark Hamister's bid to buy the financially troubled Buffalo franchise fell through after his failure to meet Monday's NHL-set deadline, The Sports Network of Canada reported on its Web site.
Now, the forum is open for anyone to submit a bid for the team.
According to the report, the NHL will make a formal announcement later on Monday.
Hamister and majority partner Todd Berman will still be free to continue pursuing the Sabres. Rochester billionaire and failed gubernatorial candidate B. Thomas Golisano has continued to express interest in purchasing the Sabres, even though his initial bid was rejected by the NHL last November.
Hormoz Mansouri, a member of Golisano's ownership group, said Golisano is prepared to jump back into the running on Tuesday morning.
