youre letting mgmt off the hook too easily. When PA traded Myrenberg he stated he was “5 years away” and JR has stated his disdain/skepticism about how long a rebuild would take/implying fans dont know how truly grim a situation like that may look like.
Like it or not, mgmt made has made it clear that there are pieces they like on this roster and that they can “build” (PA) around them. It is not as unilateral a direction as you seem to think it is. These guys have enough integrity to do the job as they see fit and they chose this route.
