What they didn't do is move every single experienced player on their roster and didn't things at a measured pace.
You can critique that against your very limited "this is the only way" view, but the rest you're just making up.

I'm not making it up. Listen to Conroy interview with Boomer, he literally said a lot of what they end up doing in the future will depend on if they re sign or deal Rasmus. They asked him specifically do you go in for a playoff run or do you rebuild, and this was part of his answer.
It was also short term thinking of a potential playoff run why we didn't entertain trading any vets. When Royle said we could have had a 1st + for Kadri but didn't ask him to waive.
Again, I'm not blaming Conroy specifically. This has been a thing with every GM under Murray Edwards. We think short term instead of long term, in general.
I don't care what spin people want to put on it, but this isn't being made up. Everything I posted is factual.
