There is a rumor that TP continues to blame the NHL for Botterill and therefore is reluctant (or refuses more accurately) to listen to them on other personnel decisions.
On the other hand, JW mentioned events at KBC are starting to offset some of the Sabres loss of revenue. Plus Highmark Stadium and its associated revenue will start flowing in the Fall of 2026 and maybe the Sabres purse strings are loosened.
A consistently full building and playoff dates will help that. Moving on from the existing regime would be a help with ticket sales and considering there is hardly anyone in the organization from coaching staff or hockey ops who is still under contract after this year,
Therefore changes probably come.
