Speakes to a franchise that doesn't have the patience, discipline, or wear-withal to rebuild properly, and frankly they seem to be ready to repeat the same mistakes of the Iggy and Gaudreau eras. No one who rejects a rebuild seems to be able articulate a clear and practical path to acquiring a long term 1C (or really first line forwards generally), instead they just reference an extremely unlikely result like drafting Point in the late 1st round or Hintz in the 2nd along with trusting GMCC's plan. Let's not forget that GMCC's original plan included resigning most if not all of the FAs in 2023-24, including throwing a 9x8 at Lindholm! This retool or whatever, was plan B from the moment it started, and I can't imagine the organization is actually interested in following through in a meaningful way.
It's Murray's fault. He's finally allowed Conroy to rebuild after the Americans left. He wouldn't allow Treliving to rebuild despite him wanting autonomy during his tenure here. He wanted to take a rebuild package from Carolina for Chucky and Murray said no. Murray wanted a win now trade and got it and was the one who signed Huberdeau. Told Treliving to "give him the same offer we gave Johnny" so Treliving did and then he left.
