At what point is it enough time and too much for a bad team to come back from? When should changes be made with enough time for it to matter? If you wait too long to make changes and the season is lost by then, is it the changes that influence the team or is it that the games don't matter? Is putting up with things now just as bad as tanking at the end of the season? By not making changes now, aren't they accepting a losing culture?

That all depends on what your expectations were this season.
From my vantage point this is a 24th place team from 2015-16 with a really young core that got younger with Tkachuk. Being under .500 at this point doesn't come as a shock to me at all, it's another rebuild year. I thought they'd be better, I still think they'll be better but my expectations for the season certainly tell me you don't
a) fire a coach after 14 games when you had a pretty heralded "process" to bring him in
or
b) make the other GMs day by panicking and moving players in the bottom of a swoon instead of seeing the big picture
lucking these guys don't seem the type to over react in such a way
