It seems the media eats out of managements hand so much so that ownership is reluctant to do a full rebuild with the ever overhanging “season ticket holders wouldn’t like it” moniker. If there was more media pressure and people began to accept it perhaps ownership would get the message that it’s a necessary evil.

The FAN960 guys are the worst at building and promoting the narrative that the fans won’t accept a rebuild. Their trade deadline coverage was all predicated on the Flames adding roster players and going all-in. They completely ignore the perspective of selling and re-stocking draft capital. It was really odd. It supports your theory that the local traditional media guys are tied to closely to management.
