It's not acceptable to keep doing the same stuff over and over, tinkering mostly on the fringes of your roster, and actually expecting different results. Fans are a mix of angry and apathic mostly. Hope has largely left the building. Soooo... how do you fix that?

Well, I think your read on the GM is off, and I don't think there is necessarily anything to "fix." The team will either make a seismic-shifting trade like for Jack Eichel, or they will follow the natural course of team competitiveness and enter a rebuild in a few years. Unlike a lot of posters, I happen to think that the cycles cannot really be manufactured, and need to run their courses in order to see meaningful change. The cycles are products of time and random circumstances. As far as I can see, every "rebuild" over the last twenty years has been a matter of course, and not a result of planning.
I know I see things much differently than a lot of posters here, so take it for whatever it is worth.
