I know you’re not arguing against change and my comment wasn’t meant to be directed at you or anyone in particular. I just can’t see him waiting until the off season to do something is all. Two playoffs with basically the same team seems highly unusual to me. So even if a move is a lateral one, is like to see it. Swapping out an expiring contract on D for picks and use picks to acquire an expiring contract up front.
I’m also not as adverse to “rentals”. You’re not always going to be able to trade for a player whose contract was negotiated by another GM. If you acquire a guy who is at least willing to listen to your offers before UFA, that’s not necessarily bad. The idea of a test drive is kind of appealing and might help you avoid a giant mistake.
