Look at all the other team owners that came out and said there teams were rebuilding when they had some intellectual honestly about the current status of their team (rangers, Chicago, Anaheim, Edmonton, etc, etc.)
This owner is clearly unwilling to go down this path and anything he does/approve s clearly going to align with his business philosophy.
He may think they are a championship team, but the results from the last 30+ years say otherwise.
He operates with the "small market" team mentality, and the results seem to support.
If he truely wants a championship team, then act like it, and be a voice of change, so that small market teams can survive. Fair or unfair as I get there are variables the owner can't change, but don't state you want to be a championship team, if your philosophy and actions contradict how championship teams are built and run
