In April, Pegula Sports and Entertainment issued a round of firings and furloughs, but those were limited to their hockey operation.

Now, they’ve made another change in the executive ranks.

According to Tim Graham of TheAthletic.com, they’ve fired executive vice president of finance and business administration Chuck LaMattina, whose name used to appear on the Bills and Sabres team websites.

While moves involving business-side personnel might not make headlines, the Pegulas are clearly reshaping their organization. Terry Pegula insisted there was no financial pressure on the Bills, but they’ve made multiple changes to the Sabres hockey operation.

  1. Kim at times says all the right things. However, her actions have to make Bill or Sabre fans scared for the immediate future. Both financially and also in the hands of a complete amateur running a pro sports organization.

  2. The Sabres have not made the playoff, or even been close for that matter, since the Pegulas bought them. It seems ownership is content with the Sabres being the doormat of the NHL. let’s hope that doesn’t happen with the Bills.

  3. Haven’t we all been in a corporate office building before and asked ourselves the question…do they really need all these people?

    The reality is the Sabres lose money and the Bills make money. Two different leagues with different ways of sharing/earning revenue. I wouldn’t be surprised if they sell the Sabres and keep the Bills.
