BREAKING: Sabres Sale Complete, Ruff Declined Extension Offer...

((HT: WGR-AM550/Sportsnet Radio Fan 590 Toronto))

The Buffalo Sabres have announced that Tom Golisano has reached an agreement to sell the team and everything related to it to Terry Pegula.

Majority owners Tom Golisano and Larry Quinn will hold a press conference on Thursday at Noon in the HSBC Arena in Buffalo...

As a sidenote, unrelated or otherwise...

Lindy Ruff told the media this afternoon that like, Darcy Regier, he too was offered a contract extension but declined it.

Ruff did say he wants to stay in Buffalo.

The HQ guesses he's trying to gauge interest of Pegula when he takes over as the big boss before he commits to anything long-term...

More when we know more... but until then here's Adam Benigni's conversation with ESPN's Pierre LeBrun about the situation...
