The inside knowledge from a couple posters, who I think have a high degree of credibility, confirms what many of us thought to be true: that the owner was not allowing the GM operate the club as he wanted to.
Now it is perfectly reasonable that an owner would have to approve large contracts to players, but obvious there is far more at play than that.
I think we had a really good GM trying his best, but being undermined.
So I have little faith that a new GM will have much better luck.
Hard to feel optimistic right now.
This is arguably the worst run franchise in the NHL when you factor in the building fiasco.

Watched the least amount of games I ever have this season. It's weird to really not care about a team that I've followed for so long, and this is after coming into this season believing this team might be a better built Sutter-type playoff team than 2021-22. Sure the Huberdeau and Kadri deals are going to look bad in the later years, but at least thought we'd get a few good seasons to make some playoff runs....yikes.
Now hearing all this internal dysfunction stuff come out makes it hard to feel optimistic until there is a change organizational philosophy or ownership. Hoping that if the Ottawa sale goes through at 900M-1B that Edwards sees it as a massive cash out opportunity.
