So you set a price for these players and if you can't get it, you have to determine if you are comfortable re-signing them, lower your asking price or let them walk for nothing.

I don't think anyone is being fickle. It's a reality and people are being realistic in realizing that we are still in the middle of a rebuild, not a perennial playoff contender yet. So keep building by acquiring assets that fit the team demographic.
Also not lose players for nothing as ufa's. And not hold onto guys that aren't part of the long term plan.
Short-sightedness would be the biggest mistake treliving could make. Here's hoping he doesn't try and salvage something that isn't.
