No coaches or players ever go out on the ice and try to fail, but the GMs of many self-respecting teams have abandoned short term success for long term success by trading away talent for future assets. They know full well the short term results are going to be bad on the ice.
A lot of teams "audition" their youth after it looks like they are out of it, and again, they know it means they are going to lose more games. The idea is that it will help in the long run.
Having said that, people are way overreacting to the first 5 games. I think this team is better than the results are showing. It is not time to throw in the towel yet. The new coach has only had 5 games to undo previous mistakes and it is only the 2nd game back for 2 of our top 6 players. I'm not sure they will be successful this season, but have a little patience.
