I think it can be misinterpreted though as knowledgeable fans get that some trades are better not made, but the vocal minority may push the needle.
Is it the fans or the owners? Owners in many markets (Not Ottawa) can sell out the building all year plus get big money for a playoff gate.

Look at the Flames they were committed to a rebuild for about 16 months than the team exceeded expectations and they changed their behavior.

I think the owners of these teams lack patience and marketing creativity to get Managers who will build something. Always chasing good talking sizzle over substance.
