It's being done to give the fans a chance at a championship though.
I think Conroy has done a good job at sprinkling in the exciting parts (young new talent) while setting a ceiling on upside by not spending like a fool in free agency or committing to older players who haven't won.
I think the cheating of the fans was deficit spending and overpaying in free agency, because that's not how you build a winning team in the NHL.

A rebuild is also a great opportunity to rebuild your brand and start to rebuild fan interest
I don’t expect any of that , but it would be prudent

I think doing things like spending on a new jumbotron help on this front. They're doing things around the ice to try and provide value.
