I don't get this. 57 games in and a week away from deadline. We know where we're at. Team has nearly league worst goaltending, no elite producers, chemistry issues, can't fight from behind, is outside of playoffs and losing ground.

His guidance from his bosses is still to make the playoffs, and he has no contract. I'm actually surprised he hasn't already made a move - which IMO actually speaks really highly of him to me. Another GM is looking to save their job right now.
At his point I don't think he's going to go spend major assets But he's also not going to go in the media and say "we've given up"
If they win 5 in a row - maybe he thinks about a smaller move if the market isn't too expensive.
If they lose 4 of 5 I think it could push things the other way and they probably sell some assets.
And really the only thing holding this team back right now is the goaltending (and PP to a lesser extent) they've been able to overcome everything else you mention in your post (real or perceived).
