The team feels that have a chance to get into the playoffs so that's the message being sent. As a fan, I like to see my team playing well.
Here is the fun part, as a fan, the business of the team doesn't matter. Its not my job to worry about it. If I don't like the product on the ice, I just don't pay for it.
Being an armchair GM doesn't change anything with the team except the enjoyment of the game. Try it. Just watch hockey and enjoy it. Life is too short. You could get hit by a bus in the summer then next season doesn't matter to you any more.
