I think the only "meddling" ownership has been doing over the last few years is putting forth the mandate to "Make the playoffs and attempt to win a Stanley Cup with Jarome Iginla".
It might not have been the right thing to do in regards to asset management, but I can understand it.
In the end they failed at it, the final year of Iggy's contract finally arrived with the team out of the playoff hunt, and Jarome and the organization decided to move on from each other.
Finally the page has turned and the rebuild can begin, even if it's late in happening.
