They are rebuilding or retooling or whatever term you prefer, and as a HUGE bonus the team on the ice is fun to watch. I am happy.

Totally, and it’s a bit surreal. Conroy said what he was going to do, he’s done what he said he’s going to do, and there are actual examples of him being able to do whatever he needs to do (trading the #1 center, retaining on Tanev) that should dispel any question over it… but all it takes is one talking head saying “I think” and people instantly ignore everything that’s actually happened and go back to the whole “mushy middle! no direction! owner meddling!” thing.
The team is re-whatevering (which is what a lot of people wanted) and they are fun to watch and still competitive (which is what the rest wanted). Literally everybody should be happy with this season so far… but it’s like people look for reasons to complain.
