Interesting segment on the Classic pregame on local NBC in regards to the Amerks situation. The Sabres have actually made an offer to outright buy the amerks. This has not been well known here in rochester(first that I heard it).
The big problem has been the local ownership(steve donner) wants the Sabres to pick up some of the cost of veteran players on the Amerks. But the Sabres want a developemental team for younger players, and believe that it is up to the Amerks to fund the players.
If the Sabres were to outright BUY the Amerks, don't know if that would change. But on thing that has come out recently is that the management of the Amerks has been having financial problems, and selling the team may be an option that they need.
