I think a lot of how he handles the team and how he’s publicly portrayed and the public portrayals of the team are similar to a politician that wants to maintain narrative control.
To some extent that’s ok I just think he’s way too far - to the point he’d rather avoid even talking to the public - remember his early days as Sabres owner some of his press conferences were awkward like he didn’t want to be doing it or didn’t know how to communicate.
