You Can Officially Submit a Complaint if You Dislike Your Teams Management
The Athletic, one if not the most well known source for hockey articles has released a fan survey, and you can be apart of it.
There are two surveys, one for all 32 teams and also one for the team you cheer for, you can submit how you really feel about your organizations management, trades and even more.

The athletic stated the following about these surveys and what is all going into them, read below.
�'Each management group will be rated on a scale from 1-5 in six categories, based on how confident respondents are in that team's ability in that category. Recency bias will be rampant here, and that's a good thing as this is a «what have you done for me lately?» business, but do try and keep a team's past in mind when evaluating. For teams under new management, try to strike a balance between the previous regime (as often the front office isn't completely overturned) and the new staff coming in.''
�'Here's what goes into each category:
Roster building: How the front office has managed its roster, looking in general terms about the players in the system and whether they formulate the right building blocks for the team's goal of contending, whether that's in the present or future.
Cap management: How the front office has managed the team's finances, with regards to the efficiency of money spent (are there a lot of bad contracts on the books?), cap space, future flexibility and general dollar worth. Bottom line: If a team is or isn't spending money, are they doing so wisely?
Drafting and developing: How the front office has managed its farm, from draft day to the big leagues, relative to their draft pick capital. Is the team making smart selections and are those players meeting their potential after the draft?
Trading: How the front office has managed the trade block, mainly has management made the right calls in trading assets and whether they're generally on the right or wrong side of a deal.
Free agency: How the front office has managed a period generally synonymous with mistakes and how it has navigated the minefield of free agency. Does the team generally give out reasonable deals, or is it prone to over-paying and over-committing to players it shouldn't?
Vision: How the front office communicates its plan, both implicitly and explicitly. Vision is mostly an abstract concept, one that boils down to whether a team's plan to build a Stanley Cup contender is evident in its decision-making process and whether its plans for the future appear sound.
Really, it all boils down to the decision-making process and whether you believe the team (or teams) in question are making good choices in each category.
There are two ways to do this: Rate your favorite team's front office and, for the more ambitious, rate every (or as many as you can) team's front offices. The final results will be a blend of both, a mix of the fan base's perspective as well as general public opinion about how the team operates.
The final results will be made available next week, with the links to each respective survey below. On both surveys, you can leave a comment elaborating on your opinion of your favorite team's front office. The best ones will be included in the final story.''
The athletic killed this surgery, and we hope you can take part in it as well!
