I know what you're thinking: Buffalo hasn't had a competitive NHL franchise in forever. Why should the Sabres get a Stadium Series game like this? For one, Terry Pegula owns the Sabres. Coincidentally, he also owns the Buffalo Bills, where he's currently constructing a new NFL stadium in Orchard Park. Set to be complete in 2026, Pegula can swing a deal to have the Stadium Series come to Buffalo. Also, the fight for Lake Ontario would be nice.
