Also probably why you’re not seeing him weaponize the cap space we all thought would happen. Ownership does not want to play a dollar more during non-contention years. Cheap asses!!

This is how I see it too. There's a bit of upward management. Connies not allowed to burn it to the ground but he's removing what he can as he can.
If you want to be a seriously competitive team you're not icing the goalie tandem we are next year.
He knows we need high end talent from the draft and he's doing as much as he can to get us to the bottom within the parameters set by management that are designed to keep asses in chairs.
