Realistically losing Copp who was looking to extend with them makes the team look much worse. Their bottom 6 used to be pretty enviable and did a great job propping up their skill guys. Now it looks thin.
I think they are just waiting to rebuild but want their players to force their hand so their fan base doesn't get too riled. Super small Canadian market thing to do.

They are always going to be hindered to an extent because of the market and small arena they play in. Fortunately they do draft very well in the early rounds of drafts so a rebuild may not be a bad thing but the issue will be that a lot of the good players they draft will want to eventually leave which makes for a perpetual cycle.
