He's simply running the team as a bottom line company and has been unwilling to sacrifice seasons for a rebuild despite that being a requirement of building a cup contender. You seem fixated on the term "meddling" where I simply consider him a bad owner from a fan's point of view.
The guy is such a goof even when the team has been forced into a rebuild, he's ensuring that employees don't admit it. He's terrified of reality of the situation coming out of the words of the organization because he's terrified it will upset some paying fans. Still he does dumb things like hide the Conroy extension and throw Maloney into the spotlight which blows up in the face of the organization. Good owners don't do these kinds of things.

Well in fairness I don’t think any teams use the word rebuild. The New Yorks Rangers never mentioned the word once in their supposed transparent letter that said they were doing that. Not even sure there is any evidence that he is against a rebuild either.
