You don't understand why someone would be offended by their position being minimized down to "rationalizing mediocrity"?
The on-ice performance is one part of the evaluation. It hasn't been good enough. So now let's for look for reasons why including the GM's role in that. Did he make rationale decisions that one can understand? What was his performance across key parts of the job (drafting, trades, RFAs, UFAs, coaching decisions, etc).
There's lots to it. And some have taken the time to spell out their rationale for why he should be retained. Which of course can be disagreed with. But those reasons go beyond "rationalizing mediocrity".
