I've said in other threads that Canadians are notoriously risk-averse, and it goes double for those few who are rich enough to own NHL clubs. The goal is not and never was to win the Stanley Cup. The goal is to avoid missing the playoffs so the business won't lose money. Doing a proper rebuild means years of poor crowds and heavy losses without any guaranteed return.
No matter who the GM is, or who is on his staff, they still get their marching orders from the same people. And those people refuse to contemplate a rebuild until they have no other choice.
