Why does anyone think he does when he's never said that and in fact has been very clear, they aren't tearing down.

The Flames are second last in cap spending. The only thing separating them from being in the bottom of the league is Wolf. Wolf was totally untested at the NHL level. He just happens to be, so far, awesome. Without Wolf, the Flames probably lose 4 more games easy, which puts them bottom 5.
My main point was that Conroy was downplaying the extent of his rebuild, and that's largely to appease the owners, who don't want a total tear down. In reality, he's sold off the team for futures.
