Or... (as Occam's razor would suggest) maybe rumours are just rumours.

I am fairly sure that Aarongavey was being sarcastic there. Or did you know that, and are just picking up from here as a generalization about what some posters have been saying? If so, please carry on and ignore me for being the one that has stuff going over my head!
Anyway, am personally convinced that Conroy is just rebuilding, period, but being incredibly sneaky. He could have easily added to the team by now to improve them. I personally think the target to get to is a "Respectable Tank". It doesn't make much sense to use assets to prop-up this team, and the best prospects are near the bottom. He just doesn't want a burn it to the ground rebuild, but I do think the target is to draft high this season, and maybe next. I guess we will see. This team will work hard, but lose more than they win.
I am sure if there is a move in which it makes sense to acquire a young player that they feel is a good fit long term, Conroy will make that deal. Other than that, I just think this is a rebuild. If he suddenly adds players rather than trades some for futures, then I will pivot on my opinion, but as of now, a fairly deep rebuild is what I believe is happening.
