Staples: How many players down does this draft go then?
MacTavish: (Aaron) Ekblad is the right-handed defenceman that seems like a book-end for Nurse. …There’s some good players. The type of player we need is a guy like Curtis Lazar, like that type of driver. He and Nurse are kindred spirits, they’re just good leaders and good foot soldiers, that’s the type of guy that we could use. We get Ekblad, that’s another big piece.

Here's the quote. It sounds like fanbase prepping to me. Draftspeak at the midpoint, to me, shows that that's where their focus is, not improving the team at all. Ekblad! Ekblad! Ekblad! Say it with us fans!
Following that was the Katz letter which said no "short term moves" to improve the club.
