The deal is finally done. Here's the official word, just e-mailed by the Sabres:
"The Buffalo Sabres today announced that Tom Golisano has reached an agreement to sell the Buffalo Sabres and its related companies to Terry Pegula. The agreement, completed at 1 p.m. today, is subject to certain closing conditions including review and approval by the National Hockey League. It is expected the NHL review process will take several weeks to complete."
The team said Golisano and Larry Quinn will discuss the agreement during a press conference in the arena Thursday at noon. It also announced that Pegula will not attend.
No more speculation. No more ifs, ands or buts. It's a done deal.
