Because his actual actions point in the exact direction people want him to go, and instead of focusing on that, people write long winded missives about not being told what they want to hear and the sorry state of the franchise.
What other team trades their top two forwards, top defensive pairing, and prepares to trade their #1 goaltender with no bonafide solution behind them… and still isn’t “tearing it down”?
What does tearing it down look like vs what the Flames have done? I’m genuinely asking. Is it just that they’re also collecting young players on the cheap that are better than their AHL guys?
