Sabres Introduce 2nd Owner Ever, Burkes Boys

[PigsRule]

Buffalo Sabres introduce their new owner Burkes Boys. BB is only the second owner in the team's active history. He takes over from Marnier who left behind a strong franchise with a well stocked minor league system.

Expect Burke to be very busy as the Sabres new owner.

* Another strong, dedicated and active owner increases his stake in this 5th year league!

Looked through that Buffalo roster and man there's a lot of holes to plug.
Good thing the right man's on the job.

Nice one, good luck BB!

[Burkes Boys]

Thanks Johnny!
Hope to lead the Sabres back into the playoffs this yr. Right now there's only half a roster in Buffalo but it's a nice clean slate to start a rebuild IMO.

The Buffaslugs are Headed in the right direction. Wonder how good or bad Millertime is going to be in Vancouver.

[Burkes Boys]

If they can play a little more defense in front of Miller in Vancouver that'd help but he had a really solid wall in front of him in St.Louis under Hitchcock and Ryan couldn't shine under those ideal circumstances so who knows. Vancouver also rolls out a new Head Coach so it might take some time before they figure out how to protect Miller.

I think Miller's lost his edge. Sometimes too much money gets to certain players and they lose interest to go 110%.

Valtteri Flippula, $3.6m (2013-2016)
