For the league to step in and force an ownership change, you have to essentially be a fraudulent owner or lead away in handcuffs. The reason Arizona came to a head was because the owner essentially got them kicked out of a flawed by viable arena by fighting over the lease and not paying the bills. When he basically told them they were going to build a new arena and couldn't deliver. I think the NHLPA complained enough about subpar facilities and other owners complaining that low revenue was effecting salary cap, etc.
I'm sure most of the Atlantic Teams are happy to have buffalo be a perpetual door stop.
Someone has compared us to the pre McDavid Oilers. Just keep getting top picks but never able to be competent.
I actually believe ownership cares, but between the Bills, the Bills stadium, and family issues with Kim, the Sabres have become a low priority and even if the Sabres still hold a special place for Terry and he wants to be involved, even he has to admit it hasn't worked.
While resources ARE an issue, throwing more money at the problem, at this point, isn't going to fix anything. You fix the front office, spend resources there to get us back on par with other teams, and then work up a realistic plan for playoffs next year and beyond.
