from WROC-TV,
Rochester-area billionaire Tom Golisano is looking to sell the Buffalo Sabres, according to a report out later this week.
The report in Western New York Hockey magazine, which cites an unnamed source, says that talks are in the exploratory stage. It goes on to say that Golisano is listening to offers and prices are being discussed. The source claims that there is a group with NHL expertise involved in the discussions.
The December issue of WNY Hockey will be out Thursday. The author of the article is Jim Kelley, the magazine’s managing editor….
The source says that Sabres minority owner Larry Quinn is actively looking to find a buyer, and that Canandian businessman Jim Balsillie has been approached by Quinn or an associate.
