In a surprising move, Buffalo Sabres owner Terry Pegula is selling the team, as reported by Buffalo-based National Lacrosse League (NLL) reporter Michael Karvelis.

This decision comes amidst a tough season for the Sabres and adds to the ongoing drama surrounding the franchise. Alongside the Sabres, Pegula also owned the Buffalo Bandits (NLL) and the Buffalo Bills (NFL).

According to multiple sources, the Buffalo Bandits, Buffalo Sabres, Rochester Americans, and Rochester Knighthawks are going to be sold.

"Everything but the Bills," one source said.

With the Sabres being sold, new ownership will step in during a crucial phase of the team's rebuilding efforts. Details regarding the identity of the new buyers and the timeline for the transition remain undisclosed for now.
