HTN: Sabres for Sale?

The Buffalo Sabres are denying reports that the team is up for sale. Western New York Hockey will publish a story Thursday that says ownership is speaking with prospective buyers. Magazine publisher Steve Manson stands behind the story, broken by veteran hockey writer Jim Kelley.

Yesterday, Sabres Managing Partner Larry Quinn said the team was not negotiating a sale, and that no consideration would be given to any buyer who would move the team away from Buffalo. Sabres Chief Operating Officer Daniel DiPofi also said that under no circumstances will the team team move out of Buffalo.
