A “firm commitment to the tear down” is just such a subjective thing, sure looks like one to me. Personally, it just seems needlessly miserable to let management decisions from 15 years ago decide how you judge management decisions of today. Especially in the NHL, where even a decade is an eternity and few people last more than a few years on the job. What “the franchise” is, is largely just a made up thing people have compiled from memory that isn’t really a reflection of what it is today.
I expect them to trade more players, but I know there’s no urgency to do it. I also expect them to sign UFAs, because you have to ice a team, and every player can be an asset down the road.
I’ll take good team building and smart asset management over “trade everyone right now and sign no one!” Seems like a bad approach.

This completely ignores the fact that the guy at the top, who is a known meddler, has not changed.
