Isn't this all stuff we want to hear?
I guess people are reacting to the "they aren't going to tear it down?".
But I don't think that necessarily means they won't trade one of Coleman, Kadri or both.

I think the concern, with the comments you quoted, is with the bold. Pretty easy to interpret that as not doing anything, not trading anyone, just see how things go.
We've had 12 months of inaction, it's time to step up and start actually pushing forward.
And trading vets is not a 'short term fix' in anyone's eyes, anyway. A short term fix is going to grab a UFA to plug a hole. Trading vets to build for the future is the opposite of that.
So it's pretty easy to react negatively to those comments. And, like Royle9, I don't think Friedman's comments are accurate. But if it turns out that they
are, it will become difficult to continue to support the team with STs.
