But therein lies the problem with this organization, this will never be any GM's team. It will always be ownership and Ken King's team and when you have non-hockey people influencing hockey decisions, you get failure.

No qualified or good GM will want or get hired because they know this will never be "their" team. Any rational GM would rebuild and would say so in an interview and when they do that ownership and King would say "NEXT", until they get to a super desperate and incompetent GM who says "I think we are only a few pieces from winning a StaNley Cup, we don't need to rebuild".
