Elliotte Friedman Reveals One NHL Owner has had Enough and Scheduled an Emergency Team Meeting
The Buffalo Sabres have lost their last 10 games, and now their owner is paying them a visit, which according to Elliotte Friedman could mean big changes.
After a promising start to the 2024/25 campaign, one which the Buffalo Sabres hoped would end their NHL record playoff drought, the team are now 3-7-0 in their last 10 games, and changes could be on the way.
This week, rumours have surfaced that Terry Pegula, the owner of the Buffalo Bills and Buffalo Sabres is headed to Montreal, where the Sabres will play on Tuesday night, and given his status, it's safe to say that's not a good thing for some involved in the organization.
While Elliotte Friedman couldn't confirm that big changes are coming, he offered these comments on the situation, revealing that a shakeup in the organization is one of two options for this visit.
And that means to me one of two things, either Kyle, he's making changes, or he's saying that this is the group and this is who we're going with. I mean, it's possible there's other options, but I wouldn't know what they are, so I think it's one or the other.
I've been around long enough to know that in these organizations when you sense the change is coming or you're waiting for change to come, they can Splinter apart. People aren't rowing in the same direction.
At this point in time, it's hard to predict what changes this team could make to turn things around, with Kevyn Adams, the team's General Manager recently addressing the stigma that has surrounded Buffalo for a long, long time in the NHL.
Ultimately, something has to change in Buffalo for them to finally end this decade long rebuild, and whether or not those changes occur as a result of Pegula's visit, only time will tell.
