A rebuild is a lot of moving parts that need to come together seamlessly in the form of a winning product. Having concerns about Lundqvist's state of mind while going through a very tough period isn't some crazed theory out of left field, it's a perfectly reasonable topic of conversation. Historically he's shown that when times are tough he gets very emotional and he's highly critical of the team, and of himself. That's great when you're a cup contender who needs to try and win every game, but when you're a rebuilding team the expectations need to change and the post-game response much chance with it.
Again, this could all be resolved with an off-season for players to collect their thoughts and come to terms with the direction the team is going, but I think it's a perfectly reasonable question to be asking now.
