Not the exact words but that is what I took from it. It's similar to last year where they did not want to discuss trades while the team was in contention for the playoffs.

In my opinion alot of moves over the past 3-4 years have been reactionary but these are my interpretations that we don't need to argue as they have been argued over and over in the past.
Yeah...I listened to the interview, just turned my stomach, they peddle the biggest crap sometimes, they have just this visceral, "never turn to the dark side," hate for the word "rebuild" , it's so over the top, for the life of me, I just don't get it. I don't think there is another team in the NHL, with this much disdain for the word, show me one.

They are what they are because of how the run their business, and the results seem to back up that premise, yeah maybe a little unlucky, but they continually shoot themselves in the foot with short sighted moves.
