I find it off-putting when people state things as facts when they aren't facts.

The poster said we've heard ownership publicly speak. Either I missed that or it didn't happen.

I agree. Which is why I wish the organization would lean into it publicly. It's silly that they don't. Clearly it would help everyone if their comments and actions were aligned. Doesn't need to be a big letter or massive declaration, but something as simple as "We are focused on building a team that can compete regularly for an extended period of time, which might mean some short-term pain to get there"

Something as simple as that. You don't need to come out and say you are going to dump all your vets, or name who you are going to trade.

It isn't that hard. But the franchise has never been good at this stuff.
- Feaster was a blow hard who never backed up what he said
- Sutter treated the media poorly and never saw it as part of his job to talk to the fans through the media
- Burke was probably the most direct about things.
- Tree I think was OK but people got tired of his repetition (the process, etc)
- Conroy has a natural and genuine style when he speaks. But he should be able to talk openly about where the team is.

Edit: And they should just avoid putting Maloney out in front of fans. Total unforced error. I don't pretend to know what he does, or what he is good at. But he's not good at THAT. So don't put him in that position (or don't allow him to put himself in that position) pariticularly when you have a guy who IS good at it (Conroy).
Hell put Nonis out there if you need to. Just not Maloney.

Who has traded more meaningful players, spent less cap, had more firsts then Calgary the last couple years? They will trade the biggest name this season too
